Re: Please don\'t be this guy
When he's already in the hand I would look for the slightest movement, perhaps a finger-tap to the music, and call it a 'check'.
I would also consider doing it in such a way so that he doesn't know that he checked. If/when he finds out later that he checked and gets upset then too freaking bad.
I also wonder why you can't MAKE him put the I-Pod away.
After he is late on 2 or 3 turns then he either puts it away OR he is folded or checked every time he doesn't know it's his turn.
Alternatively, I would yell sarcastically loud at the guy and scare the crap out of him "It's your turn sir!!"
In other words, there has to be some way to take more decisive action on this guy (and, unfortunately, that whole kicking him in the nuts bit isn't THAT viable an option, even though it would certainly be preferred).
