    What's It Like to Wear a Mask at a Blackjack Table

    For those who have went back to the casino with a mask, how difficult is it to wear it for a long time. Does wearing a mask make one real uncomfortable if you are playing for a couple hours?

    It's not that bad for a few hours. Only problem I have is I wear glasses and it's foggy when I wear mask.

    A ploppy showed me how to avoid the fog on your glasses, as I also wear glasses.

    First, if you wear a baseball hat, turn it backwards, as the bill traps heat otherwise.

    Second, pull the mask all the way up to the nose ridge, where it will sit right behind the glasses.

    Third, and that's my advice: bring your own mask made of fabric. The complimentary masks they give are too rigid and don't absorb as much of your breathing, meaning that the heat will vent towards the glasses otherwise. They also do not allow being pulled as high as the fabric mask.

    Also another piece of advice: the casino will have you stare at a camera without a mask on when you walk it. Be as goofy as possible when you look at the camera, as that's their only chance to capture your mug.

    And finally: if you need to take a sip of your drink, do it from below the mask, not above, or you will show more of your face.

    That's of course if you want to use the mask as device of identity concealment.

    Wearing a face mask at the Blackjack table could help some novice card counter disguise they are counting. Because some novice APs have a habit of moving their lips with the count. Covering that with a face mask could help hide that. Also, I can't speak for anyone else but wearing face mask for me is not uncomfortable.

    The Lone Ranger wore a mask over the upper part of his face. It did not cover his mouth and nose.

    The irony was that you listened to him. I didn't know he refered to the Lone Ranger.

    Music to grow up by.

    Jay Silverheels problems with English almost led to the demise of the The Lone Ranger. Our hero, captured by hostiles, was sentenced to be executed. He was given 3 nights reprieve with the further gift of any wish he so desired, 1 wish per night with Tonto having the responsibility of insuring his wish be honoured. The Indian Chief was mightily impressed for the first 2 nights, as Tonto returned each night to the Indian camp with a beautiful scantily clad woman sharing his saddle.

    Before The Lone Ranger sent Tonto out to retrieve his 3rd wish, he whispered to Tonto - now, listen very carefully - I said ‘Bring Posse”.

    It's like wearing a condom in a swimming pool.
