I don’t wear sunglasses at a poker table…I don’t think it brings me any advantage….and: the opponents should be able to look into my steel blue eyes….😜

I have never been to any live poker tournament but when I does I'll make sure to wear sunglasses so nobody can take advantage of my eye movements as a read.

I think that this will not bring serious benefits, good profit ... It is better to sit down at the table well rested ..

Why I should wear sunglasses when I play online :confused::confused: Nobody will not spy my laptop via camera on laptop and see my eyes when I play poker and predict my moves.

I wouldn't, mainly because I'd probably misread the cards with my aging vision if I did, hahaha. But I suppose if you don't trust your acting abilities or your ability to hide your emotions you might. But if you are wearing glasses, I'll be looking for other tells anyway... so (shrug)

It's a Good Idea

I do not consider it rude to wear dark glasses at the table

It conceals the involuntary reaction of the pupils of your eyes
when you get a big hand

Skilled observers at the table can pick up on this "tell" to their advantage

This, obviously, is not beneficial to your game

So, I think it's a good strategy to wear dark glasses at the poker table

I enjoy the occasional pair of sunglasses, but I don't require them to pull-off wins. Some of my most successful times at casinos were when I played as myself. Sunglasses may hide the eyes, but they don't hide emotions and nervous ticks. If someone wants to wear them, then game on. In the end the cards will decide their fate.

I've never been to a live poker tournament so I've never worn sunglasses at the table! But if I have the opportunity to attend a live poker tournament, I will definitely wear glasses! I don't see anything wrong with that when the opponent sits and plays with glasses! Good luck at the tables!

Do you wear sunglasses at the poker table?
Yes, always!

Or do you find it rude when someone else does?

I can't conceive out how could be someone rude by wearing sunglasses at a poker table.

It is a choice Players make & it makes no difference to me. I don't need to stare down someone to determine the correct play. :cool:

Not usually, but i understand that there are small reactions that can be hidden with it, I just don't think it makes as much difference as people think.

Why not

I wear sun glasses when I play online. ;) What are you people talking about. If your playing for change with friends it doesn't matter. But if you are playing for a living you probably playing with skilled players looking to take advantage of any tells. Eyes are really hard to hide. You have law enforcement groups that all they do is watch video to see if your body language gives info if your untruthful.

Hoodies have become real popular because it hides even more information.

Wearing sunglasses at poker tables demonstrates the lack of security of the player in them they hide emotions where they can have bad hands or good projects I personally believe that they hide the ocular behavior of each player I personally would not wear sunglasses :D

I do not, but what others wear is up to them. It is a game of advantages, so do what ever helps you. That includes getting others mad or frustrated, which is all part of poker. Just do not invade my space, that makes it personal and I will respond. Anything else, do your best, I can ignore it.
