I have an “ALL IN” button. I don’t like to speak when I’m in a hand. One way to go all-in is to say “All in”. The only other commonly-recognized way to go all in is to shove all your chips across the line simultaneously. But doing that means you have to spend time gathering them up on the outside of the line then push them all across. Since I buy in for the maximum amount of chips, I often have too many chips to make that an easy thing to do, so I use this button that I bought days ago. I just flip it over –I keep it by my stack on the “CALL” side – and push it across the bet line to declare an all-in.
Well, I used it last night. I decided all-in was right, so I delicately flipped it over and flicked it across the line. You might not have even noticed I’d done it unless you were looking down. One of the people at the table rhetorically exclaimed “Wow, he’s got his own all-in button. Where can I get one of those?” He then said something about it being like a “Jedi All-in” (I had earphones in my earholes so I couldn’t hear much more.) but I got this mental picture of a Jedi going all in…sitting back, arms crossed and the chips just start moving by themselves towards the center of the table. It made me laugh inside my poker head. Here’s the button – both sides. End of story.
