I was just reading about Phil Laak dressing up like an old man in 2008 wsop.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker...ary&id=3602251

it got me thinking, what if 900 entered a poker tournament, and all 900 of them decided to wear a bag over their heads? Or a ghost mask on their faces.

Is this allowed? Can tournamnet pros do anything about all 900 wearing "masks"?

It seems as though currently no tournaments I've heard of have a rule against this.

But I think that doing it makes you look stupid.

What if everyone wore different masks and in between each break there were secret mask exchanges going on, would mulit-masking be allowed?

i was playing a $300 live tourney a couple months ago..about 200 people entered and there was a guy at my table with a bandanna covering his face. a straight up mother****in blue bandanna covering everything but a little line for his eyes... it lasted for about 30 mins till the tourney director told him to take it off

Some identities are better kept secret.

I think most casinos (those with facial recognition software at least) wouldn't be warm to the idea of masked people wandering the casino during a break in the tournament...

If there was a trophy for the worst poster in the history of 2+2; I'm pretty sure your name would be all over it.

You are the most consistant poster in this forum and i didnt think the "is multiaccounting worse than shortstacking" thread can be topped, but this is pretty damn close. Keep swinging fella. You always miss the ball but you are trying i guess.
