Poker Puffs with Chicken

This is one of the best recipes I have ever made for my poker game. What I liked most about them is the fact that they are baked and not fried. This makes them less greasy and as I have previously mentioned greasy foods are not good at a poker game.

I do often serve fried foods at my poker games, but I would rater not.

If the other players in your game are serious poker players they will appreciate the effort and time you put into your food choices. This can greatly have an effect on your game. You will find your poker buddies will be more serious at the table when they see how hard you have worked to make the game go better. Joking around with your friends is always fun but sometimes especially at your poker game you really want to just play poker and not waist too much time goofing around, but at the same time remember you are there to have fun, winning money is just an added bonus.
