I was playing over at the old Golden Nugget poker room back in the 80's.  Most of the games were Limit back then and I was playing 10-20 Limit Holdem. It was a great game with a lot of action and I was up about $300.  Problem was that even though it was about 106 degrees outside in July I was freezing because I was sitting right under an air conditioning draft and I didn't bring a coat.  I asked for a seat change but nobody was interested.  20 minutes later nobody had left and I was still freezing.  I started playing badly because I was so uncomfortable and was now only up about 100.  I took a break and walked by a hotel clothing store/gift shop.  I saw they were selling a few light jackets for $90.  Problem was the biggest size they had was medium and I wear at least a large and more likely an extra large.  I tried on the medium.  It was tight but I thought it might at least keep me warm.  I bought the $90 jacket and went back to play.  After sitting down the jacket felt even tighter than it did in the store.  By this time I was totally frustrated because I was still uncomfortable.  I then left the good game because I figured I would continue to play badly.  With the cost of the jacket I broke even that day.

After that day I always brought a jacket to the poker room even if it was 110 outside.  Even though I liked the look of the jacket I never wore it again.
