How to go for a pee while multi-tabling

[Swordpoker]

I posted a comment on Tank's 4,000 STT thread about it costing me about $2 every time I go for a pee. I've been thinking about that since and reckon it may well cost me much more than that.

I play up to 8 sngs at a time, usually $33 buy-ins. When I go for a pee and perhaps miss a premium hand and therefore a good opportunity to double up that could well be the difference between winning a tourney and bubbling. Potentially losing me over $200. Between 8 tables, I imagine that will happen more than 1% of the time so maybe it's costing me as much as $4 or $5.

My strategy so far......

1) Pee before starting a session. I thank my Mum for this one as she always made sure I went for a pee before a long car journey.
2) Timing. Obviously I want to go when my games are all in non-critical stages. Not always possible but I do my best.
3) Use my time bank. I like to stall for time just before going to pee. Then when I can fold on all my tables at once, that's the time to go.
4) Mad dash downstairs while stubbing my toe, pee as fast as possible while turning sink tap on. Listen to computer bleeps. Flush loo, wash hands, run upstairs carrying towel, stub same toe, then click madly on all 8 tables at once.

If I'm lucky, I've only timed out on 3 hands.



So, Your strategies please. How can I further reduce my liquid losses? I look forward to some inventive answers

Move your computer into the bathroom, you can get rid of your chair and never miss a single hand again.

Nice idea. Don't fancy the image of being electrocuted while on the bog though. Might take some explaining to the Ambulance crew.

these are all the range in the jungle apparently - who knows when i win a bit of money in poker later this year i may treat myself to one rather than using the hole in the floor.

Look on Ebay and see if there are any commodes for sale.

For the purposes of two hands while you pee, you can live with a little overlap surely?



Health and safety directives in the workplace regiment that no-one should be at a computer for more than 4 hours without a break. (or so the missus tells me when she feels neglected) A more disciplined break regime may help.

I don't go down this route, but I have trained the missus up to "baby-sitting standard" at sit n gos. If they are at non-critical stages, I wash my hands at leisure, with soap and everything.
