I've never heard of dress requirements or rules. I always just dress for comfort as I might (hopefully!) be sitting for a quite a long time in a tourney. |

I think dressing up for a game is very important in professional tournaments or even in olympics. But it usually depends to the rules of the game. |

In all the tournaments I've watched on tv, there doesn't seem to be much of a dress code. Even for the final of WSOP, there doesn't seem to be one. |

Frankly, if I were in a televised tournament, I'd dress up - but from watching many tournaments, no dress code seems required or customary. |

It's funny, one of the many reasons I love snooker is that the guys always dress for a tourney. It's a nice tradition, but, then of course, snooker isn't quite as popular as poker these days! |

In addition, dressing up for a game is good for games that involve 2 or more players as a team because it symbolizes teamwork such as basketball, football and etc. But in poker you're not playing by team so it's better to have freedom of wearing clothes. |

Hmm , yes the same dress does give a feel of team spirit and i think in major events one should be dressed like a professional though dress for a poker player can be casual |

I remembered when I joined a chess tournament before. I'm ashamed of wearing our uniform because it was too large for me. But I still wore it for the sake of team spirit. |

I think if you want to be comfortable, that's one thing, but I also think that when playing you should wear something that makes you feel confident too. Just like with anything else. |

I have seen that almost in all sports there are specific dress codes but i think poker should be free of those as it is game of freedom |

That's an interesting way to think of poker. Could you explain what you mean a little more? |

In sports industry nowadays, in playing any kind of sports there's always rules and regulations. Dressing code is already a part of it. So if you joined in a certain tournaments, it's expected that you must follow rules and regulations whether you like it or not. |

I'm old fashioned. If I'm playing in a very nice casino, I don't like sitting across the table from some guy in a tank top with his underarm hair showing. That there are some dress codes is a good thing and I wish there were more! |

Oh my, it was a really embarrassing moment and would probably let him see how much I appreciate our friendship to dress like that. |
