I think that the big advantage of the table wearing sunglasses is an exaggeration.

Leaving the cheating glasses aside because they're probably only good for home games where you use your own deck. There is a bit of an advantage to wearing sunglasses as the other players can't see your pupils which may be a tell. Some players look for dilating pupils for clues. But it's no worse than wearing a hoodie or just shielding your eyes. Some people wear sunglasses for light sensitivity so I don't think banning them would be very popular.

It seems to me that this pack was on sale (as at the beginning of video unpack the pack packed into cellophane) complete with glasses.
What confirms once again the fact that you shouldn't play cards on money anywhere. Unfortunately opportunities for swindlers, as well as swindlers are enough.
I, now, will suspect all people who will play cards in pink glasses :D

There is an advantage in these cards and glasses . they can be used for self-study game, you can see cards and see player behavior. in the future learn to make the right decisions in game without glasses. I think this is very useful for live play in poker

I've never used glasses in any of my live games, I'm not against players who wear them. They're just not for me, I think wearing glasses in doors is weird unless it's very bright inside of course.

Playful always wears sunglasses because the glare from the lights at the casinos hurts her sensitive eyes for sure:(

The secret is in the invisible ink marked on cards. they can be seen by infrared contact lenses or glasses

If to ban sunglasses in poker, then need to ban to wear a hat, baseball cap, scarf, and to prohibit the conversations at the poker table.
Sunglasses in poker to hide their emotions. Glasses – the protection of the weak from the strong.
I think, that for players in offline poker, which bad at hide his emotions, be sure to wear sunglasses (if they do not interfere).

Of course, if the player knows how to play - the problem is not with glasses. The opponent can sit naked though - a weak player will still lose.

If a male player is naked, the woman-the dealer will deal the cards is very strange.

Don't see it as a big deal either way.

Looking at the face of your opponent and possibility of looking straight into the eyes should be a part of poker, right?
I am against glasses

Is it okay to play with sunglasses online? Seriously though, I'm sure some players can and do get tells from the eyes.

Points in poker will not make you a champion or winner of the tournament. This is a private matter. This means that if I'm comfortable playing poker glasses, I'll wear them if it is not convenient to play, they do not need me at all.

As many home or live card games i have played i have used sun glasses and have never seen any distinctive marks on cards to give me a advantage. I actually havent even thought about it to even try to see to be honest. But im going out on a limb here to say that probably the video we watched was a set that you probably order together so that you and only you can see the markings on the cards. So i think this a bad example

Rather than prohibit, they should regulate the subject and carry out an inspection of respective elements.
