It makes it a tad bit more difficult bc I like to watch peoples eyes in person, but you should be paying more attention to the person's play.

I once read that when a person worries pupils dilate !!! I think glasses can hide the excitement !!!

Некоторые носят солнцезащитные очки из-за того, что люди думают, что они более трудно читать. Некоторые из стиля, и я играю в Интернете, я не нуждаюсь в них

I do not play live poker much. When I do I do not really see people wearing sunglasses. So could not really say as to what tells they have with or without the glasses specifically. I am sure either way you could still tell from other body movements (other then the eyes with or without sunglasses).

Makes no difference to me. If you know where you stand in the hand they can wear a bag over there head all I care.

I think they are dumb. A controlled player doesn't need them and can hide emotions with nothing covering. on that topic, why not dress up a bit to play live? look good, feel good, play good, right?

I could never bring myself to do it, I always just felt stupid and uncomfortable wearing sunglasses inside.

And what others have pointed out is correct, the eyes aren't the only things that give off tells - there are a heap of other visual cues you can take.

Having said all that though, I think wearing sunglasses is probably +EV. There's really no downside to you as a player if you wear them, and if they block even a few small tells then that's a net positive for you.

I personally like sunglass play. I know some purists who hate it. It does cut down on potential tells, obviously, but I don't see it as any more difficult.

I dont care if somone wears shades its not gonna stop me from picking up tells and i would only wear shades so i can watch others more often without them knowing it i guess but i dont think sunglasses are that important they dont hide that much as far as tells.

for me it's just stupid to use anything at the poker table, it's just a show-off

To hide emotions?
to look cool?
Maybe even come to the tournament in the golden mask?
it will be even better! much better!!!:)

For the ladies is the perfect mirror to fix your make-up. To me it does not work. wearing glasses player wants to hide her eyes, but to understand his strategy for this there are plenty of other ways.

We live in a time that everything is allowed as long as it is with respect and respecting the rules of poker, so I do not mind what other players do, I focus on my game

I do not like wearing glasses playing and it does not bother me other players at the table using.

I do not use luck factor :)

To identify something in the action of opposing players, there are several ways beyond the eyes. Maybe some will demonstrate more for them.

I have no problem with people wearing reflective sunglasses if that is their choice.

I would not focus on this at all. Don't let someone wearing glasses change your decision on what you think is optimal. It's a massive leveling war with yourself and you are bound to make decisions that are incorrect.
