Cates Committed to the Character

Level 1
Dan Terminator Cates
Dan Terminator Cates

Omaha Hi-Lo

As mentioned, Dan Cates is dressed as The Terminator for Day 1, and is committed to the character not just in dress, but in action as well, extending his arm robotically and dropping his chips in when he bets, and pounding the table forcefully with his fist when he checks.

He methodically gathered half of the pot recently when he and Brian Yoon split an Omaha hi-lo hand.

The chip dropping could become a problem in the big bet games if he has to drop multiple chips at a time.
