    It doesn't take long at all... The biggest set up to a 2-3 day trip is coordinating it with a teammate or two, which doesn't take more than a couple texts and/or a couple minute phone call or two. After that I have a "go bag" with extra clothes, gambling books (Nersesian+ Thorp), some W2's and old plane tickets showing I gamble frequently, and all of the things one could need on a trip (asprin, tooth paste/brush, deoderant, watch, phone charger, charging BLOCKS, etc). With this bag I should be able to pick it up, grab my money, and leave. Charging blocks are a wonder to keeping your phone from ever running out of battery and needing to pre-charge...

    I'd say, to put a number on it, if I had a trip coming up this weekend, it would take me 10-15 minutes to get my butt out of bed and in to the car ready to roll.
    Don't think you have a winning game; know you have a winning game.

    I have a bag ready for travel + 2 nights + travel home. Now a days peeing seems to take the longest.

    I live out of my suitcase, like a pilot always on call.

    I believe you once posted your travel schedule on BJ21. All I can say it was almost unbelievable. I could never do that. I'm curious with all your traveling do you have language problems in foreign countries.

    I never really have many issues except for French and Chinese speaking parts of the world (Africa/Asia). I do speak some Thai, Spanish, and German which helps a lot

    Usually the more you travel the quicker it gets every time. You can have the essentials always ready or just have an ultimate list of things you will need and check it every time. practice makes perfect

    Drill a hole in your vehicle's floorboard and rig up a funnel with tubing through the floorboard -- saves a lot of time.

    You forgot the on/off switch. Needs a hole in his pocket to set the thing in motion. Also gives him something to play with.

    I think all that would get in the way of my AutoSuck.

    1. Have a car charger and extra phone charger in car.
    2. Just leave a set of clothes in the car all the time (along with tooth brush / etc.).
    3. I just stop at gas station, fill up, and get food there.
    4.
    5. See 3.
    6. Keep car maintained so you don't have to do this stuff.
    7. this is important
    8. important too
    9. do it at casino in parking lot
    10. fair enough
    11. leave it in your car or wallet
    12. leave in car
    13. fair enough
    14. leave in car
    15. get food at gas station
    16. depending on length of drive, do this at casino.
    17. important
    18.


    most of this stuff it seems like you can either leave in your car all the time and/or have a pre-packed bag at the ready.


    something that likely would help with time for this is to have a check list. this way you don't have to go by memory on what to pack, bring, do, etc. going by memory slows you down because you gotta do this, then that, then you forget what you were going to do, etc... also going by memory is fallible and you may forget something.
