appearance

When I was more like a full-time Pro, I would wear nice sport jackets
and fine bling as "looking like I had money to lose" did, indeed, afford
me some better comp's and pit boss favors, etc. Much of it was rather
intangible though ~ just a far more welcoming (and tolerant) attitude.

I dunno Fenix. I like to be comfortable. No, this doesn't mean showing up to play in your bathrobe and curlers. (That's a metaphor T3, I'm not serious). I was once told the first ten minutes of your day sets the tone for the rest of the day. So on play days, I shower and shave and eat a good breakfast and get up early. I drink less coffee, thus less jittery. I'm a firm believer that the way you feel is the way you act. Others tend to respond accordingly.

Raises an interesting point. Though I don't care about being dressed well (usually casually to semi well dressed comfortable), I do insist on being clean comfirtable and relaxed. This includes a good breakfast or lunch. Relaxed means well rested. If I'm tired prior to arriving at a venue, I'll lie down for a nap first. Helps with mood, comportment etc.

If you are a swan amongst a crowd of crows ,guess what you will stick out. Do you fit in the demography?

This is a really good point. I'm not one for "Disguises" in terms of wigs and mustaches and such, but since I work 300+ days a year, I'm usually dressing to my demographic. I might just wear jeans and a tshirt on Wednesday night at Isle, but come Saturday at GN, I might be dressed to the Nines.

I try to look like I have more money than sense at the table, and if I talk it's about a popular TV show or the game on TV. No reason to let them think I may be edumacated...

...But it's also interesting that at my home casino I've walked in there after a job interview, wearing a suit - Ralph Lauren of course - they do treat me a little differently.

X2....those Macy's suits always fool them!

Outside of Las Vegas, I generally think that those over 60 get less scrutiny with the younger ones getting the most. This is especially true during non holidays and week days (where you are expected to be at work or school).

Actually I got mine through The Sierra Trading Post. $189 +Tx. :lol:

The ones they really look out for are in their 20s -> early 40s with CARGO PANTS AND ESPECIALLY FROM SEATTLE! :lol:
