Taking a Break from the Table

Just curious:

Do you take a break from the table instead of just coloring up and leaving? When do you take a break?
A few times I have seen towels draped over the chips but not sure if the player taking a break was a DI.

I always go to the bathroom first and wash my hands and dry them thoroughly before I approach the table so I don't need to take
a bathroom break during my session.

Towels over chips, or some casinos have special sized perspex boxes, are a common occurrence. It can be for any player who is on a break.

I guess a lot depends on how long you are at the table for, how much you have had to drink (water as well as alcohol) and how much bladder control you have :)

Logically you don't want to be leaving a load of chips out there though even if they are covered up, especially in a busy market on say a weekend night. At least only leave low denom chips there. Some players will scoop everything up and just leave a dollar chip to save their space, telling dealer and/or box they will be right back.

Instead of taking a break I will color up after a good roll or after someone had a good roll and the next couple of rolls went South.
I don't think taking a break when I am getting paid nicely when staying will ever come to mind.
