Hoodies just cant be over your head, has to do with security, pretty sure if you tried to walk into Rivers with your hood up, they'd tell you to pull it down too
the same reason you couldn't walk into GVC without pulling down your mask for a moment so the cameras got a clip of you
Heard from the man who runs the GVC room himself yesterday (for some reason I cant remember his name as I type)
that he thinks in one week the phone and headphone ban will be lifted (market forces at work I guess)
and yes, you can chew gum at the table
Personally I like the no-phone at the table rule.
Forces people to pay attention.
It's just too tempting to put $35 out there when you have the nuts
and say quietly, "all in" and hope the guy calls $35 before finding out it's an all in.
Hey, you take yourself out of the game mentally and audially, that's on you.
Now, I've never done this, since I play only at GVC, but it'd be the perfect "angle"
and yet totally not an angle since it's well within the rules
Begs the question, can something within the rules be an angle?
If so, what?
