Hats. Have you ever realized how a hat makes you what you are? How it changes your whole look and personality? You might look at someone at the table with an animal hat on and think, "Wow, what a jerk!" Or maybe he's wearing a hat to hide his eyes, hide his tells, hide his thoughts. There are mad hatter hats, derbies, baseball caps with every logo imaginable, fedoras, beanies, berets, bandanas, and bowlers, but there is only one bad hat!
You might be familiar with Kenny Piel. Oh, not with his name, and probably not by the fact that he plays poker professionally, but by his bad hat! How did that connection come to be made? He always wore a hat that people would comment on and ask where he got it. But he never wanted to tell anyone because he wanted to be the only one with that hat. Then one day someone said to him what everyone was probably thinking, "Hey man, that's a bad hat!" And the name stuck. Now, regardless of where he goes, he's no longer Kenny anymore. He's Bad Hat with the Bad Hat Company. Check out this issue and see Kenny's website where he shows off all his bad hats. He also has some bad hat spinners. But back to hats. I love hats. My husband wears a hat everyday! Wherever I look around the house, there's a hat! When I have a bad hair day, I want to wear a hat! When I sit down at the poker table, I want to wear a hat too. Not because I feel more comfortable, I want to protect myself. Why do most guys where them? Either they're bald, shy, hot, or want to make a statement.
Bad Hats make the statement. I think I'll buy one, but then I have to decide what I want to put on my hat. If anyone has any suggestions out there, write me.
