Sunglasses, iPods, Lucky items @ the Poker table?!
H-Man81:
Am I alone in thinking that Ipods kind of go against a lot of what Apat believes in. Ok there is a lot of money at stake and everyone wants to do well but the friendly and relaxed atmosphere Apat tournaments strive for is surely negated when people sit there staring straight ahead ignoring everyone around them. Surely it"s gotta be a bit about the banter?!?
Swinebag:
from my experience, there is plenty of banter anyway.
At the last one, after I had donked off a load, I stuck my ipod on for a mini sulk.
Dan then announced that I was listening to "no way back" by the foofighters and that my situation wasn"t really that bad.
In short
"ipods do not ruin the banter"

i see slightly where you are coming from, but this is a game of winning and you do what you can to win. everyone is there to win. if you dont want to win, you wasting a seat ;)
if using a ipod improves concertrasion etc. then fair play, wear one!

Believe me I"m not leaving at 7am on Saturday morning for a 5 hour drive to waste the seat (So all note I will be playing supremely tight for first few hours ;) Since I don"t wear sunglasses or an Ipod, perhaps I can try the waving my hand in front of opponents faces saying "not touching can"t get mad" approach! ;D
