Default Re: How to do the all-in?

[ QUOTE ]

Any words of wisdom on gestures as one declares all-in?

It's always best for a beginner to study films to pick up pointers from the experienced pros. One of the best as far as all-in style is Humberto Brenes.

Humberto not only has great style, but he varies his moves depending on circumstances. His range varies from a classic seated two-handed pushing motion to his patented "Push from the Rail", where he starts from the gallery, walking rapidly toward the table with his hands fully extended palms out. (Do not try this at home.)

Accessories are also important. Humberto is fully accessorized, including multi-colored bandanas, and at least 2 pairs of glasses (plain and tinted), allowing either or both to be removed pre-push. Study the films and work on your moves at home, and no one will ever again be in doubt when you push all-in.
