It is refreshing that the Innsbruck outlet of Casinos Austria requires that gentlemen wear a jacket when they attend major poker tournaments. There is a tendency for male poker players to be strong individuals with their own idea of what constitutes acceptable table wear. Consequently, some casinos look like they admit gamblers who still have milk teeth.
A player, like Mihai Manole, who waddles away, freshly pacified by, say, €55,650, should look like he can dress himself. Unfortunately, though, it won’t catch on – even the popularity of the Bond movie Casino Royale, with its hero playing high-stakes hold ‘em in a D-J, have failed to make a difference. Events like Saturday’s €2000 NL Freezeout will continue to be the exception rather than the rule and printed ‘comedy’ T-shirts will still have us rolling in the rails.
Today’s Eyebrows’ poker blog has been brought to you by ‘Fuddy-Duddies of Europe’, a sometime contributing organisation. If you ever read the expressions ‘Why, oh why did he call’, ‘Poker players today just don’t……’ or ‘ flops like those never happened in my day’, you will know you are safe in the hands of the FDs or some other Darwinian also-ran.
