Does anyone know the rules on wearing masks while playing in the WSOP?

I know it's a real random question. But I was just wanting to know. The kind of mask I'm talking about is similar to what Jason (the movie) would wear but it was custom designed for me.

jonbrown 		I'm pretty sure I saw someone wearing a mask similar to that in 2005. I don't think it is against the rules. People might think you are a loser though ;)

Davido 		There is no rule against that at all. It's stupid of course, but allowed, I mean how incomfortable do you have to be with your poker skills, to decide to wear something like that......Really dumb. If you think about it, it's the same as P. LAAK when he is all-in and close is hoodie all around is head and you can't even see his eyes. It's a choice.

Take care

fullhouse 		Masks are allowed as long as they are not offensive and can be removed. WSOP officials are just now drawing up rules for this sort of thing. Phil Laak doesn't get in trouble because he doesn't go all "Unabomber" all the time. He removes the hoodie most of the time. The last couple of Main Events have seen some weird activity and bad poker etiquette, just look at Jaime Gold's antics last year. Soon to be banned will be coaching (Johnny Chan) and outlandish costumes.

Just so you know, we poker players all say the same thing when someone walks in wearing a mask or costume: "Dead Money coming." You will NOT be taken seriously wearing any kind of mask.
