Masks

Generally, poker room doesn’t allow players to wear masks. But we have seen odd occasions in the past when players have appeared at tables wearing some truly outrageous mask.

Costumes

These costumes can vary from being Pink Panther to Batman to even a bunny costume! We don’t really have to tell you how difficult it is to take a Pink panther poker player seriously.

Wigs

We can only imagine how difficult it is to calculate the odds of getting a straight when the players sitting directly in front of you is wearing a bright orange wig. Having an uneven or a luminous wig on is a foolproof way of distracting your opponents. The only way around this – ‘If you cannot beat them, join them’.

Oversized Headphones

There is nothing more irritating when there is a low hum of music emanating out of the headphones of the person sitting next to you. Many poker players tend to use oversized headphones to divert the other players’ attention. However, some players also used headphones to throw other players off their scent and then listen to the minute auditory tells that they might give out.

Beards and Moustaches

In the end, it is all about hiding facial expressions. Hence, some players choose to have the more natural and organic way of covering their faces. They overgrow their facial hair and to hide any tendencies that they might give away with their beards and moustaches. So you should always be on the lookout for the guy who has the longest beard!
