So, I look up at my mirror and I have a chinese good luck token with tassles and beads and a square hole in the middle. So, not to be without my card gaurd I take it down and disassembled it down to just the charm and some red tassles.

GOOD LUCK MY ARSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on my second card before the first break and down to $700 when we came back. Everyone on the table were laughing there arses off as I said I'm putting it back where it came from.

Well, so much for chinese lucky tokens. I turned my $700 into a final table $45k plus change and finished an unforgiving hard earned second. :D

My other phobia is .................. Yes, here I go again. Players who sit in between the cups on an oval tables and want to put there beer in both cup holders. Thank god the Wheat Sheaf players know where they should be sitting. :o

Someone said in another post that it doesn't happen on round tables because the TD's put the seats behind the cups. Well again it seems the country folk are more forward thinkers than those in the city. :D
Because, at the Kingy the punters have to actually get their own chairs and put them behind the cup holders. :)


Ah problem solved then....sit on your own chair and put it behind a cup holder....... that 'll make the other city hokies do the same

I used to carry NPL keyrings in my back pocket - I did it once, by accident, and had a great tourny. So I kept doing it, and kept having a good season. Now I carry the FT chips - good for flipping during the break :D

I DON'T use a card protector - I find it too distracting. After I won my first tourny, I used the gold card protector, and had an awful game. I used it a few times again and lo and behold, kept finishing badly. So that was the end of that.

I have a few different techniques for looking at my cards, and how I shuffle them while waiting for my turn to act. I ALWAYS arrange the chips in the pot in a neat order. Even if I'm not dealing. Usually stacked in denomination order.

And I always knock Darren's chip stack over.

After copious beers/bundies & losing $50 on the dogs, do you think I'll be able to remember these tells? :shock:

Dont really have anything (well, nothing that's obvious to me anyway). Might use my coke bottle cap as a card protector as a bit of a joke but last Friday it didn't do me much good, so i swore at it, then threw it under Zacks chair, and within 5 minutes out he went as well 8-)
