But there are times and places that if I couldn't take along the cell and expect to be able to get a call, I couldn't leave the house.

A good number of people, including myself, have this constraint. I am only able to go to my closest cardroom once a month because I must be available at all times. If you do not have the responsiblities in your life that require that level of availability you can not understand the limitations that inavailability of cell phone coverage causes. I would easily play 10-15 days a month if only cell phone coverage was available.

See, the poker room managers job is to make money for the poker room. If the poker rooms construction prevents a number of players from providing the poker room with revenue then the poker room manager has failed.

Now, the communication skills demonstrated by the OP are the matter of another concern.

Note: On the one day a month that I do play I have to leave the casino and check messages once an hour. That is not fun my friends.

PS. There is no problem with cell phone usage in hospitals and many hospitals have staff carry wireless communication devices of varying types, including cell phones.

I would say that my wife is on call several nites a week. I can go play cards, but It has to be close (where I can get home in 10-15 minutes it takes her to get ready, and I have to be avaiable via phone. There are 3 rooms which qualify for the time to travel, but one of them, I don't get a cell phone signal. Not only that, but they really don't have a decent paging system.

I too, said something to the floor once, and he basically did the same thing (this was a man, btw). I told him "you need to get it fixed. I can't play here". Four months later I walked in, checked signal, saw that it was still non-existent and walked out.

WTF? Oh,, no, that's not it. We have kids. Someone has to be home with the kids. No way I'd get up in the middle of the nite to drive my wife all over the state anyway.
