Really? Some prostate you have. How often do you go to the WC?

I'm like you... I suck the stuff down. it's getting expensive keeping myself hydrated at the tables. but really, I can't carry enough myself to cover a day at the tables.

Yeah, this would work.

The first two bottles merely replace what I've sweated out walking from the parking lot to the Amazon Room. The a/c is cranking so hard that inside air dries out and sucks more water out of you. You really have to work to drink so much water that you have to tinkle more than once every couple of hours.

The key is to get a feel for the speed of the table, then time your bathroom trip to only miss your UTG and UTG+1 hands if possible. Obviously this depends on a lot of factors though.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. I can see him doing his ESPN segment, circling the backpack and soft drinks and then explaining how it's a huge tell. Good Stuff man !!!

thanks to this thread, im thinking about double re-leveling by bringing a load of drinks to the table to get the scared money image, and bluffing the **** out of everyone.

A little tip I use...

Some waitresses give you the stink eye for asking for 2 waters....

Instead, I ask for a glass of ice and a water...it's basically the same thing...but you don't get the stink eye b/c they just think you want really really cold water.

Cheers,

S
