    I was just reading Kevin's article in Bluff Magazine and wanted to reiterate a very important point...Kevin mentions that he has begun to dress more conservatively during live tournaments. As someone who has played a lot live over the pat five years I have to back up his advice. Do not dress like an idiot and expect some old man or woman to fold to your bluff. It just won't happen. You won't get any credit for a well executed bluff. No matter how much sense it makes. I've learned to wear button down shirts and dress like I have 2 small kids at home. This way, an amatuer player will not think you are playing high risk poker... I can not stress this point enough. Players in hoodies and glasses get sooo little respect at the tables. Thought I'd add this to help all young players venturing in upcoming live events.

    You really think what you wear really makes that much of a difference? You adapt your game to your opponents. Older people generally play tight and it doesnt matter if your bluffing them or not.. Your shirt means nothing.. You think anyone really cared if Daniel wore a hockey jersey or not? You should wear clothes that you feel comfortable wearing, as your going to be there for awhile hopefully. If you feel comfortable in a jersey,hoodie, speedo THONG whatever.. If you can play you can play.
