I see many younger live pros carry backpacks to the poker room. Just curious what they are using them for.

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.

men don't wear bike helmets either.

At the Borg backpacks are not allowed on the casino floor, this includes the poker room. This has been the rule for years, not only was I asked to remove my duffel bag once I have also seen this happen many times. Best solution - check your backpack with the concierge desk to the right of the main desk.

Note - I haven't played at the Borg in 6 months, but this was the rule for as long as I have been going there.

When it's invented, I will carry the Swiss Army Darkberry JedI-pod. One device that functions as a cell phone, email, tricorder, internet, mp3 player, light-saber, calendar, , UV lamp (to catch daubers), universal translator, phaser, bottle opener, and contraceptive pez-dispenzer with a Gabe Kaplan bobble-head.
