We all have our own way of getting mentally tuned in to a game. Mine is usually to get super-excited, dump off an early stack, get angry and abusive, and then try to recover with pointless agression. It doesn't always work.
My good, and always invited, friend BadBlood has a "Procedure" of his own.
But, as if to personally tilt the poor bastard, our state my make his pre-game warmup... ILLEGAL.
This information courtesy a local TV Station in South Carolina:
"EXOTIC DANCERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA MAY HAVE TO PUT A BIT MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. A BILL IN THE HOUSE WOULD REQUIRE THEY STAY SIX FEET FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE MEASURE WOULD EFFECTIVELY BAN LAP DANCES AND REQUIRE STRIP CLUBS TO CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT. A SUBCOMMITTEE APPROVED THE IDEA LAST WEEK. BUT HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS EAGERLY SENT THE BILL TO A DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEE FOR FURTHER REVIEW."
For those who aren't aware the Blood "Procedure" is as follows:
Drink with friends at bar.
Go to "Gentlemen's Club."
Play Poker.
Methinks losing the middle step will be disasterous. Only time will tell.
