Message: [QUOTE="ryodejaneiro, post: 933195, member: 32810"] Still, not a bad skill to pick up. And if you polish it up, it could be quite the useful tool. Interesting question. As far as giving off tells, once he zips up, it can be effective in concealing tells. But it could force Laak's opponents to think back to everything he did before going all in and methodically scrutinize the situation. So conceivably, this could force his opponents to analyze his play even more. Instead of trying to pick up tells and figure out what hand he has, in some ways this simplifies the process of making the decision. His opponents could rather safely disregard Laak's behavior (especially since he won't be able to tell whether or not he's being observed) - this allows others to focus on figuring out his hand. This was the main drawback that I could come up with. [/QUOTE]
