What is in the backpacks live pros carry with them?

[Ol Dirty Bastard]

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.

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.

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

One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.

Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Also, you guys really carry your cash around in your backpacks? That seems kinda crazy.

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.
