Would have to be number 3. Something comfortable, but looks like you at least made an effort.

I don't know how those guys wearing suits felt after a full days play in this year WSOP Final Table, but I bet it wasn't nice.

Should there be a stricter dress code?

Number 1, for sure.
I wore a suit to a live event and it was awesome! I just felt like I was there to work, felt professional and in the zone.

Also I loved Max Steinberg in his suit if anything it helps promote poker too!

1 or 3, probably 1. And yes - there should be a stricter dress code - like in Wimbledon. I really don't like watching to those bum outfits in TV, unless they are end bosses like durr or Jungle , and I don't enjoy people who don't take care of themselves - how many turned off tv because of Justin Schwartz? I almost did..

Ha this is pretty interesting. I just googled main event winners and the dress code is pretty consistent throughout......
