There's nothing better than getting together with a few guys, having a few beers, and losing next month's mortgage over a few hands of poker.
But while you're going broke, you might as well look good, with the best poker gear. And our friends over at
PokerJunkie.com made a list of the 18 most essential accessories to take your home game to the next level. At least you'll look good while losing your shirt.
Paulson Clay Poker Chip Set

Forget cheap plastic. The pros and casinos use clay... so so should you. Grab a set

Stainless Steel Deck of Cards

Traditional? No. Practical? Not even a little. But this $350 deck of pure stainless steel poker extravagance will definitely make an impression on whoever's at your table. And if they mouth off, I'm pretty sure they can double as Bond-style throwing stars.
Poker Table with Built-In Fridge

No one wants to leave the table to grab a fresh beer...and they won't have to with
The Gamebar. It's impressive enough with its gold cupholders, inlaid lights and leather padding, but what pushes it off the Cliff of Ridiculous is the refrigerator that lifts out of the center with the push of a button.
Robot Dealer

Tired of having to deal? Me either, but still, this
robot dealer from the minds of the uber geeks at some university may actually make it to market. I can see it now: "I'll take two cards, HAL." "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave..."
Stained Glass Poker Lamp

Nothing says high-class quite like a stained glass lamp with cards on it. I know. It's no velvet Dogs Playing Poker painting, but it would still make Louis Tiffany proud.
