Default 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...

I thought it was hilarious, especially if it was done American Psycho style with all the pictures of horrible sexual violence and everything. MEAT BONE BONE MEAT MEAT BONE MEAT MEAT MEAT
