Dress to impress

Every once in a while we have a round of poker at my house. Since poker is THE SPORT for real men, I'm sure most of you readers out there know the setting. Now, I know a group of sophisticated alpha males gathered around the filt is intimidating. But by wearing the right outfit you are no longer the sucker among them. Since I'm big on guides, todays five step program will contain my basic routine before sitting down at the table.

1: Take a shower and shave. It's important to look fresh and relaxed.

2: Do not wear aftershave. It could irritate your skin and make you sweat more in a stressed situation. The same goes for hair wax. A nice balm and a fairly anonymous deodorant stick is what you need.

3: Wear comfortable clothes. A khaki or loose cotton trouser is ideal since your ass doesn't get to much oxygen. A pique shirt is not to fancy for home use, but do not under any circumstances take a pink or yellow one. Showing off your metrosexuality in a poker game is not the best idea - to say the least. You should iron both your pants and shirt. Folds are signs of a messy closet. You are a man who takes good care of both your clothes and money.

4: Sunglasses are overrated. Even though you're taking the game EXTREME seriously your friends should not know. Wearing a cap or beanie indoors is also strictly forbidden.

5: Do not wear silk ribbons.

So.. Ready to make some money?
Remember: it's ALL IN the appearance.
Have a good gone.
