I play quite often and OH plays for a living so I know enough to get me by

You can view a list of poker rules on most internet poker room sites, pokerstars is one of the best, most comprehensive ones http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/texas-holdem/ and I'm sure if you read through it you could condense it down and put in into a nice frame for him. Pokerlistings.com is pretty good too (and easier to follow!) http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-rules.

The other thought I had is putting something like this http://www.pokersyte.com/hand_values.gif in a frame (esp if you have a artist friend to paint it for you), he'll no doubt already know the hand listings but it'd make a nice print in his room.

We had a casino themed evening last year, and one of the things we did was to translate a pack of cards into food:

Lovehearts - suit of hearts!
Club biscuits - suit of clubs!

Cant remember what we had for spades or diamonds but you get the general idea!

Hi
How about a magazine subscription to 'Inside Poker' save up to 86%!!! - I have just done this for Hubby as we can't buy it in our area.
It is only £1 for the first 3 issues (they come out once a month) and then £4.99 for every 6 issues after that (all by direct debit)

I paid £1 for first 3 and if need be it can be canceled before the £4.99 comes out after 3 months - not bad eh?

ps, you can go through Quidco and get £5 cash back so the gift pays for itself!

that looks fab!

just had a thought (far too late for christmas - so sorry!) - there's a film called Bounders about poker with Matt Damon and Edward Norton. my OH is plays a lot of poker and gets irritated by the way it is sometimes shown in films (apparently too much gets explained - the casino royale scene really got his goat! he doesn't appreciate that not everyone knows the odds of making each draw!!) - but he really liked this one. i even enjoyed it too (although i have absorbed more poker knowledge than i realised!). might do for a birthday?

EDIT - OH has now informed me that the film is called Rounders not Bounders..... i was concentrating, really :$
