If you let security check your mask before you went to play at a live tournament, do you think it would still be alright to wear a mask, especially if there are cameras at the event and you don't want people to know who you are? Has this been attempted before?

Phil Laak did it on day one of the WSOP ME this year, but he's Phil Laak. Chances are Joe Poker from Bumbleville, AR isn't going to get away with it.

Chances are Joe Poker would be able to get away with it. One guy at the 2006 WSOP showed up in an Elmo costume and sat down at the felt. I think he cashed, too.

just out of curiosity...does bubleville actually exist. I feel like you made that up but it would be kind of ironic if its actually real!
