Sometimes it included gestures towards the table, and sometimes a phone pick up. Since then, the appearance of a new suit who looks like a senior manager, or an old timer, always sends my alarm off. If they start watching the table, then I get the message and live to play another day.
I certainly don't want to experience a back off. I appreciate everyone on this board for sharing your experiences.
