chew @ table
now that smoking is not allowed in casinos, do you know any players that chew (tobacco) at the poker table? this is a great thing to get into.

Re: chew @ table
he he great topic. I have actually seen it once, in a swedish pokerroom. (Swedes are somewhat known for having a lot of tobacco-chewers)
Personally as an heavily ex-smoker, I can understand it. Before I could easily miss 5-10 pct. of all hands when playing poker, because I had to go out for a smoke. Off course I would advise players (and everybody else) to quit smoking. And even if you won't quit I would still prefer nicotine-chweing gum - but still for smoking players, chewing tobacco might be good way to concentrate on the play. |

Re: chew @ table
I was under the impression that chewing tobacco was even worse for your health than smoking it.

Re: chew @ table
at most card rooms chewing tobacco is perfectly legal, spitting however is not.
edit: but what does this have to do with televised poker? |

Re: chew @ table
alot of folks are putting the dip between their toes now so they get nicotine and don't have to smoke or spit. still pretty nasty, i bet they go thru some socks.

Re: chew @ table
a couple points...
who the hell puts chew between their toes? i have never, ever heard of this method before. i dont' want to waste any chew putting it in with my toejam to try it out. are you sure you're not allowed to spit into a cup at the casinos? you're allowed to drink at the tables, why can't you have a spitter there? thirdly, ya it would gross out your opponents. isn't that a good thing? i think it'd start putting in upper deckers (top lip) cause that just looks really ridiculous. i can just picture myself now at the WSOP on ESPN with a huge top deck gagger in looking like a complete fool. i put this is the televised poker forum because i was wondering if anyone had seen anyone on tv chewing. but now it has evolved into chewing at the poker table in general. |

Re: chew @ table
Best post I've ever read. Being a long time chewer, I would love to see casinos allow it. I have yet to see someone put in a lipper during a televised tourney, but if they did, they would be my new favorite player.

Re: chew @ table
LOL I like Skoal mint or wintergreen. I used to chew Kodak, but that stuff tears up your lips. Ever try Wolf? It sucks, but is cheap. I will always root for a fellow chewer. If I see you on TV with a huge lipper in, you will have my vote for poker player of the year/ever.
