Sunglasses at the Poker Table

[kickinbutz]

I tell you a quick story on what I have done,or worn
you know those big clear greenish safty glasses with the green rubber head strap,I've worn them before in AC at the TAJ,I like to stare right at the person I am in a hand with.even mention somthing like,"you can't see my eyes can you?"
I've won a lot of $$$ with them on.

If you want em on all good, if you dont wear em its all good. If you got a good solid game it really doesnt matter. I look more at people's hands, betting patterns and positions.

there are disadvantage for wearing sunglasses...
give out hints about ur hand (reflection)
make you more blind (hey we are inside doh)

i'll stop here and you can fill in the rest...

I dont wear them. I guess if you have a problem with your tells(i.e., eyes dialating,ect) then maybe you should. I find them to be more distracting than productive. Also I wear regular glasses anyway...

the muscles and nerves around your eyes are the hardest to control for 95% of the population and I like being able to study someone without them knowing it

[DTown1971]

I have worn them before...
but don't really like to...

Almost always were a ball cap...and like to listen to my IPOD on low volume with only one ear covered by headphones so I can still hear what is going on...

Cya at the tables!

Be sure you dont need your regular glasses first.
If you wanna be cool thinking you need sunglasses, get a script for tinted glasses.

when i play live i wear shades all the time but not for the "cool factor" but when im in a hand i dont too much move my head or let them know im lookin at them but i look at the person or persons involved in the hand with me when the board hits most people have no reaction but theres a few people that have a few little tweaks and twitches when they nail or whiff on a flop and theres been a few times that ive capatilized big time from it just one of the many tools for your game but the hard part is determining what the tweaks and twitches did they nail or whiff???????.................

My 16 year old brother was allowed to play cards with us over the holidays, we're setting everything up, clearing the table, and he comes back with a hat, sunglasses and an Ipod, I wanted to slap him silly.

i love it when people where glasses it usually tells me they have a horrble tell that they dont want to give to me so i really try to watch them when they are in a hand with someone else to pick it up because it is usually a really obvious tell so i would never personally wear them i think they are ridiculous but usually tells me they are giving to much info with their body language and have a hard time keeping a "poker face"
