    This is a frequent problem I have been running into lately....

    pokerstars Game #21360481608: Tournament #115433787, $20+$2 Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2008/10/20 19:53:08 ET
    Table '115433787 1' 9-max Seat #1 is the button
    Seat 1: olpokershark (1500 in chips)
    Seat 2: Il_Nistra (1500 in chips)
    Seat 3: dustrich (1500 in chips)
    Seat 4: sleepystevey (1500 in chips)
    Seat 5: nailer.ca (1500 in chips)
    Seat 6: paulmb3 (1500 in chips)
    Seat 7: X360Fund (1500 in chips)
    Seat 8: royal953 (1500 in chips)
    Seat 9: jagone (1500 in chips)
    Il_Nistra: posts small blind 10
    dustrich: posts big blind 20
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to X360Fund [5h 3c]
    sleepystevey: folds
    nailer.ca: calls 20
    paulmb3: folds
    X360Fund has timed out
    X360Fund: folds

    Now my question to all you excellent massive tabling SNGers is how do you combat shitting? At this point I had over 10 tables going on dual monitors so taking the laptop to the bathroom is out of the question. Do you guys take laxatives 4 hours before to clean out your systems ensuring you won't have to suddenly shit? I've been keeping track and my estimates are that shitting has had a -1% ROI for me while playing 10+ SNGs. One solution I have come up with is to use the toilet as a desk chair and set a desk in there and just shit while playing. I really need a solution because I can't keep missing hands every half hour.

    Thanks in advance

    Since the blinds are 10-20, my only advice to you is not starting new SNGs right before you have to shit.

    If you're missing hands every half hour due to shitting your problem is not missing hands.

    learn how to cascade tables... play 16+ at a time on a laptop... avoid shitty timeouts.

    Sometimes when playing poker the need to play a headsup "human" sit n go with the toilet will interfere with your poker sit n gos. As long as your winning these battles its worth it id say, my strategy is to quickly push all in, make a flush, then get back to the real poker tables! GL
