Default Re: The ethics of observing fat players...

I don't think I understand how being fat prevents someone from looking at their cards like a normal person.

I've seen multiple people who are on the verge of being obese who can't put both arms together, hands down on the table, and then lift up the cards slightly to see their hand. It makes sense considering that if they actually did achieve getting the arms that close together (while already being cramped at a full table, which is sometimes too narrow for a skinny person), that they literally could not see over their bellies to view the cards. Again, I'm not talking about a guy who has let his beer gut get mildly out of control, but people who are very large.
