In my backpack I usually carry the following....My Cell phone charger (mainly because I play at the TAJ and my cell phone dies so quickly there), a fresh t shirt and my deodorant for the long sessions, a book or magazines to read while eating on a dinner break...

Great first post.

The only time I carried a bag with me is when I was playing for my poker rate and hadnt been to my room yet. All it had was a change of clothes, chargers (both ipod and cell phone) and a toothbrush.

everything they own probably (nm)

Sweater, Phone, Book or two for the [censored] bus.

Of course I'm far from being a pro.

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

cash, ipod, adderall, magazines, water. mostly cash and adderall though.

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

I'm not a pro, but I'm sort of young. I tend to keep sweatshirts, first aid kit, a book, sunscreen, toiletries, ipod, headset, camera, phone, keys, notebook, water bottles, bike helmet, and whatever else I happen to be carrying. Men don't get to have purses, and I hate bulky pockets.

Nice bag, Howard. Can tell you've been playing a few years---long enough to know that during a session any player---man or woman--is gonna need some stuff.

For cheaper versions of your bag, Googling the infamous "Jack Bauer man purse" or "Jack Bauer Bag" brings up tons of canvas versions at Amazon.

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

I bought a ten dollar bag at Wal-Mart that I really like. In it at almost all times are the following:

Lots of money.

Ipod.

Warm hat for when the room gets cold.

A bottle of water or Propel or something.

A couple Pop-Tarts so if I'm hungry I don't have to waste time walking and eating.

Cellphone just in case anyone decides they want to be my friend(PLEASE CALL ME)

Random chips for when I cash out for one night but don't feel like getting a bunch of singles and stuff.

Hand sanitizer Bath and Body works, Purell, whatever. Buy some, it's cheap and it works well and if you do it every dealer change you'll be fine.

So now you are posting pictures of your man purse on here? Oh my!

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

Damn pros. How come I don't get that respect.

The first and last time I took a backpack to a casino, I was barred. No coatcheck, no explanation, no admittance. Luckily, I had a folder in the backpack: shoved the backpack, gym clothes, all my work papers into a flimsy plastic folder-- overflowing and big as the damn backpack itself-- and was admitted by the same guy.

Casino San Pablo.

I've gone 'tech crazy'! At my age I never thought I could even turn a computer on much less figure out how to use photobucket. In actuality I am restraining myself. I ought to start a blog. Heh.

Every security guard searches my bag at the door except one. The other day one of them asked why I don't bring something different ('like a gun', he said) so that they wouldn't be so bored. I keep waiting on them to just give up searching me but after a year or so............

I don't think Warren Harding talks like this.

two bags of grass, seventy five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

Not that you need all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Re: What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?
 

Mine has the following:

Pop Tarts
Couple cans of Chef Boyardee
Several of those plasticware packages wrapped in plastic with the napkin
Wetnaps
condiments, small packets: Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Soy Sauce
Toothbrush

Toothpicks
Scope
RGX
Razor
Travel size shaving cream
Deodorant
Change of clothes
Magazines, I also have a copy of Texas Hold Em for Dummies, which I pull out and read occasionally at the table for effect

note: I'm not a pro, I guess I would consider myself semi-pro, since I do win, but have another job that earns more. My profits from poker are about 70/30 job/poker presently, but hopefully will one day be 75/25 poker/job, then I can quit my job as a bouncer and follow my lifelong dream of becoming a member of Criss Angel's posse. Sorry to get sidetracked. Anyway, this is just whats in my bag for long live sessions. When I go to Vegas/AC, I typically try to put in at least 12-14 hours a day at the tables, so I also wear a colostomy bag.
