before the first card is dealt..

[sloeddie]

what is the one single thing that has to be done or happen before you play your cards...get a drink of water..walk around your chair... count the players... order a special kind of drink from waitress... your lucky move if it doesn't get me arrested i might try it, you know change my luck. my playing skill would take more than that...

then run that string of barbwire around them just high enough to potect but not high enough to tear your shirt pushing allin

Live game: Sit down and find the 3 largest chip stacks and then find the 3 smallest chip stacks sitting at the table. Then I watch how they're playing until the button passes me.

Not really a ritual but, the other thing is illegal, mostly.

I have a number of things, which I will spill out here and try to pick which is the most important. I have to get out anyones leftover cup-holder, just annoying and kindof unsanitary. Second, I need to have a hoodie, sunglasses, and a cowboy hat, Just kidding. I don't rock any of that stuff. I usually say whats up to the dealer, who I usually know in my regular stomping grounds, so we exchange the regular short BS convo, like where you been whats up kinda crap. Then I wait for him to deal me 2 cards, or 4 if applicable, and then I go all in and say a couple hail marys.

Also what I said about the hoodie, sunglasses, and cowboy hat DOES apply if i'm playing online.
