How do you handle a "hygiene issue" with another player at the table

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

Sometimes, the table hygiene is so lacking and within 10 minutes, you would want to change the table. So, you have to know that basic hygiene is not a luxury. Bad body odour at the table is demeaning. I think the casino should try to enforce simple freshness policy. What do you think?

In most cases, security and a casino manager should pull the person aside away from others and tell them they will need to leave.

It happens.

It’s kind of sad to see but people should be more clean when they know they’re going to be sitting around a lot of people.

It’s not fair to other patrons to allow them to remain and cause Oder problems.

I never had to experience this, but I would make quick work of them if I couldn't handle their stink. It could be a tactic, so players are more aggressive towards them because it'll piss everyone off.

Hygiene is a serious matter because poker tables are small spaces. Someone’s body odour can disrupt the flow of the game. Imagine sitting beside a player with a body odour for three hours of poker. That’s a big torture honestly. The casino should handle it respectfully though.

I would never sit down beside anyone who's with a stench body odour for one second. I think any poker house would refuse such a person entry from the beginning because they will make every other person uncomfortable.

Most poker houses in my neighbourhood have it as a rule that anyone coming in should dress decent and smell nice. It is not a place where anyone is allowed in just like that.

These days I mostly play online, so I do not have to worry about hygiene issue. However, back in the days when I used to visit casinos or even play at someone homes, I never had too many hygiene issues from other players. If I happen to encounter people with hygiene issue, and if I am unable to say anything against them, I would probably leave the table.

I haven't experienced much of such hygiene issues and I still play offline. The thing is that it depends on the location because I stay in a town where everyone is expected to dress decent when they are leaving a place.

If you play at someone's house and if people have to put off their shoes at the door before they enter your house, sometimes you might have people with smelly feet sit beside you.
Or, sometimes you might have people with bad breath next to you.

It's how any poker house should set their in house game standard because I won't be coming to have fun to enjoy myself but end up compromising my health.
