I\'m ditching the ipod. Picking up a note pad.
 

When I have my ipod on I tune out. I think about the music, I don't hear the verbal tells around me, I don't think about the game. When I have a note pad with me and actually write stuff in it I think about the game, and play better.

If I want to play my best I must ditch the ipod for the note pad.

Only huge tools use notepads at the table. . . . it does help though to listen to music that does not have a lot of words. It's the same when you paint, for example - you don't need the left side of the brain getting in there too much to mix with your artistry at the table. A suggestion would be to make a mix that includes the Seu Jorge David Bowie covers from the soundtrack to the Life Aquatic that he sings in portuguese. Between every song throw in the "attack on ping Island" Mark Mothersbaugh instrumental. . .

If being a tool means higher earn rate, then be a tool.

Actually notepads make you look like a nit and you get no action from anyone. . . it will lower your standard deviation if that's what you're looking to do. . .

Not if you show it to people when they ask, and all that is written on it all in random non connected places is a number of the foulest most profane things (un)imaginable, preferably mostly rabidly mysoganistic. Some of the words should be underlined many times and others heavily circled and not a one of them repeatable out loud in a casino setting.

Maniacs get tons of action...

Write notes and pass them around the table. Maybe write a note like

" I like you, do you like me? Circle yes or no"

She continues to concentrate on the bottle of Stoli. I decide not to continue the conversation and just slap the drink tickets on the bar as she places the two glasses in front of me. But she shakes her head and shouts, "It's after eleven. Those aren't good anymore. It's a cash bar. That'll be twenty-five dollars," and without complaining, playing it totally cool, I pull out my gazelleskin wallet and hand her a fifty which she eyes, I swear, contemptuously and, sighing, turns to the cash register and finds my change and I say, staring at her, quite clearly but muffed by "Pump Up the Volume" and the crowd, "You are a [censored] ugly bitch I want to stab to death and play around with your blood," but I'm smiling. I leave the [censored] no tip and find Price who is standing again, morosely, by the railings, his hands gripping the steel bars. Paul Owen, who is handling the Fisher account, is wearing a six-button double-breasted wool tuxedo and he stands next to Price screaming something like "Ran five hundred iterations of discounted cash flow minus on an ICM PC took company cab to Smith and Wollensky."

Maybe it would be nice to make pencil sketches of the scene and the other players.
