They actually allow small laptops at the table now. They have WiFi hooked up in the tourney room for everyone to use. I am playing a 5k sit and go in between hands.No Way...man pay attention!If you are really playing a 5K SNG right now...wow, thats some new level of gambling never reached before. Other people listen to music, read, while they gamble, not Josh though.He gambles while he gambles!For some strange reason they are strict about the sound. You have to mute the sound on the laptop or it causes problems with others at the table.I just plug my earphones into the laptop so I can liste
