Mississippi Grind

& ...
    Number 11. Some players increase their chatter when nervous or anxious. This usually happens with extroverts, who find great comfort in babbling to reduce tension.
    Number 12. Furrowing of the forehead. Furrowing of the forehead is a good indicator that something is amiss or the person is insecure. It is also seen when people are concentrating or trying to make sense of something. It is usually associated with doubt, weakness, or concern.
    Number 13. Sneaking a nose touch. Sneaking a pacifying touch by ever so slightly rubbing the nose with the index finger...

& Curtis: Trusting a stranger, Gerry. It’s just one of those things.

& Gerry: Hey, what’s up with Peru? I heard you talking to Vanessa. What’s that about?
    Curtis: It’s kind of a joke, you know? Like when I’m done with a person or a place and it’s time to move on, I’ll say, «It’s Machu Picchu time.»
    Gerry: Machu Picchu?
    Curtis: Yeah. You might say it’s kind of like the end of my rainbow, you know? Mysterious and exotic, it’s like a place you just get lost, you never come back from. Plus it’s fun to say... Lot of fun to say. Machu Picchu. Try it. Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. ...

& Gerry: How do you get a sweet little old lady to yell, «Go fuck yourself!»... You get another sweet little old lady to yell, «Bingo!» Bingo.

& Curtis: Didn’t your mama ever tell you that you can do anything you want?
    Vanessa: No, she did not.
    Curtis: Well, then I’m saying it for her.


&  Number 118. Sitting lower and lower. Players who slip lower and lower in their chairs during a hand are progressively revealing their weakness. Most players are not aware how low...
    Curtis: That’s yours, you know.
    ...or how high they’re sitting.

& Cherry: Life’s a long grind, ain’t it?

& Gerry: We can’t lose.
    Curtis: No, we can’t lose.
    Gerry: Let’s bet it all. Double or nothing.
    Curtis: Yeah... Bet it all.

& Gerry: I love this country. I just bet $285,000 on a roll of a dice.

& Curtis: A hero is nothing more than the guy who pulls off what the rest of us are scared to do. I was wrong about you, Gerry, I thought you were a sick pony. I thought I was gonna have to put down. But, uh... No, you’re a hero.

& Curtis: Well, there you have it. Tomorrow’s a new day. So is the next.

&  Number 199. Relaxed and squared. Shoulders that are suddenly relaxed and squared are saying, «I am confident.» If someone goes from slumped shoulders to squared relaxed shoulders, I would be concerned as they are likely to be strong.
    Number 200...

&  Number 1. Hat lift to ventilate. Men will suddenly lift up their hat to ventilate their head when they are struggling with something or stressed or have concerns. Look for other confirming tells such as the tense face, high shoulders, et cetera, to help you.
    Number 2. Ear lobe pulling or massaging. Pulling on or massaging the ear lobe tends to have a subtle, soothing effect on us when we are stressed or merely contemplating alternatives. I would associate ear lobe rubbing
with doubt or hesitation.
    Number three. Head scratching. Head scratching pacifies us when we have doubts or stress or concern. When pondering a situation or when perplexed is usually when you see this behavior.
    Number 4. Botox. Because the forehead gives away so much information about stress and anxiety, some players, and I highly recommend it, have been Botoxing their foreheads. It is very effective at hiding tells of the forehead even though it may leave them totally void of forehead expression. One way to detect if players have been using Botox, is to look to see if there is a quarter-inch area just short of the hairline that reacts to the emotions in the normal way. This is a fairly good indicator not to look for cues of the forehead because they have been literally Botoxed out.
