Not a poker player, but got whitewater training in a wilderness survival exercise. Face downstream, use your feet to bumper obstacles, keep your head above water, don't panic. Once current abates, swim perpendicular to shore. Rest...you made it.
p.s. If approach waterfalls, arms across chest, gulp air, relax. Legs straight. Once over, sink to bottom, face downstream, kick off, go with the flow.
Read that some youngsters do this as sport now, wearing wetsuits. Dangerous, but fun. Kinda like buying pennies. Trust your training and walk away from fear.
Poken situation unknown. Poster on yahoo complaining he ordered two weeks ago, money went to EGC but still no delivery. Know heart got his during Sundance, but both he and Irvine office in close geographic proximity.
Got a low GTC order in. Enjoy fishing.
