Ooooh ooooh one more thing I forgot to mention earlier, but may have discussed in the past; As APAT is a trailblazing organisation fearless in its pursuit of the perfect pokering experience, never afraid to take the lead with new concepts and ideas, can we introduce a ban on the wearing of sunglasses and other non-prescription eye-wear including pirates style patches, monocles and cats-eye type contact lenses.
I find it a complete nonsense to sport these forms of eye-wear indoors, unless it"s David Hasslehoff who always looks awesome, but for everyone else, a nonsense especially at the poker tables. It"s my biggest poker bugbear next to the shrieking of STRING RAISE whenever someone fumbles chips across the line.
I can just about accept players wearing shades at high stakes events, but APAT isn"t high stakes so it just looks daft. It"s the poker equivalent of pub team footballers wearing silver boots and pulling their socks up above their knees cause Ronaldo does it.
I ask for this ban not because it gives a player an edge, but because it"s about helping to educate recreational players prone to doing silly things as a consequence of watching too much poker on telly. It"s like students who dress so indiscriminately the moment they move away from their parents house because it"s the first time they"ve been able to wear what they want without their mother"s disapproval. It takes time before they realise just why their mother"s were so strict...because they"d look ridiculous. But by the time these people realise and revert to more sensible daywear, it"s too late - they"ve spent three years going outside dressed like a lump of stinking crap and it"s how so many people will always remember them.
Let"s not let the same thing happen to our APAT brothers and sisters...mostly brothers. I"m loathe to ban anyone from doing anything, but I feel on this issue it is a necessary embargo.
