Re: How to do the all-in?

Physically push your stack in, inform the table loudly that you're hitting the can for a second and will be back when they're pushing you the pot after your opponents call and lose. Of course, this move is unoriginal, and might make your hand dead, but otherwise its pretty cool.

Truth is stranger than fiction: 1998 WSOP ME, HU at the final table. Scotty Nguyen against Kevin McBride, a newbie who got in on a satellite.
McBride pushes all in, Scotty stares at the table for a while thinking, and McBride stands up, walks over to the TD and says he has to go to the bathroom. The TD stutters and stammers, and finally says OK.
Scotty misses all this and finally looks up to try to get a read on McBride. No McBride. Scotty is pissed and says, "Where he go?" The TD says he went to the bathroom. Scotty stands up steaming. He stares at the empty chair and repeats loudly, "Where he go???"
McBride strolls back in and says what happened, did you call Scotty? Scotty thinks some more, calls, and loses. He is double-dog pissed, and steams for a few hands before he gets it together and wins the tournament.
On the last hand, Scotty puts McBride all in and stands up with a beer and a cigarette and says, "You call then be all over baby!!"
