Your are the focal point of all your players at some point. Don’t you think

you should look good? Your shirt should be clean and wrinkle free. You should be freshly showered and shaved. Your hands should be well groomed and not have obvious hangnails, dirt under your fingernails, or open sores. You need to be especially aware every day of your life of where your hands are, and avoid the things that cause bruises and scrapes. Your hands are your livelihood, and should be treated with the ultimate care. Women should spend the extra time or money to have their nails painted. Painted and decorated nails also make great conversation pieces for your players. Men do love beautiful hands. Your hair should be clean and neat. Your players don’t care that you stayed up all night playing in that amazing game where you got so stuck, managed to come back to almost even or a little ahead, and than still lost some money. We have all done it. It is no excuse for looking like you did play all night. The players and your bosses want to see you looking rested and chipper, like you just got back from a 2-week vacation and got all the rest and relaxation someone said was possible. Your players will appreciate you more when you show that you appreciate them enough to always look your best.
