I believe that the glasses is a necessary attribute during live games.Eyes give your opponent a lot of information,especially if you're just starting to play the live tables.

Why sit in the dark glasses in front of the computer. Pokerface for online? :)

No difference.Some players wear sunglasses,others are closed scarves,hoods.My opinion-if you can't control your emotions,even the helmet will not help you)):smokin:

I understand that the sunglasses are meant to hide the dilation of your pupils when you are stressed or excited, which would be a tell....what I do not understand is whether opponents can see my hole cards from the glare off the sunglasses....so, I never wear them.

They cant lol. unless you r wearing the very cheaply one :p

anw, glasses are good, especially when you are an anxious person.

As an old school like me, I just think it's unnecessary. I don't underestimate them but it's easier to spot the fish from the locals when i play live. But whatever makes you feel comfortable!

I believe you are talking about live play. Either way you wearing dark shades is not going to change my cards. So as I will be playing my cards and not your eyes I don't think it will effect me much.:D:D

If you play RL-Tournaments and wearing sunglasses is allowed and they dont affect your sight too much, you should definitely wear them.

Especially if you play against experienced players, your eyes can tell a lot without you even noticing.

Does not affect anything because in order to read a person mostly manifests in his gestures and not in his eyes and the perosonas who use that strategy are the most likely to make lanterns or show particular signs with his face

This has a function and it's not just a matter of style, believe me, and you can also benefit from it if you are the kind of person who can not hide the excitement or frustration during a match. Do you usually give away your moves without realizing it, through your reactions when you see the hand unfolding? If so, I recommend that you use this artifice to try to at least hide or camouflage it. Otherwise focus only on your opponents and use these reactions - fictional, of course - to deceive them. Smiling moments before bluffing or simulating a frustration when you are with the best game can confuse and much the class of the game.I do not like to use.

I don't think that if you are stone cold poker face or giggle and chat all the time has so much affection on your cards. I mean once I used my laughter to make other players call me. They thought I had nothing but I had AA and that put a smile on my face so this could be a two sided sharpened knife. Also the shades have a reflection, you risk somebody to notice your cards even before you do.

Help to hide information

Eyes easily betray emotion, for example, long look in the card can give out a weak hand. It is believed that when the opponent is bluffing, his pupils dilate. And dark glass will hide the attentive look that You study opponents. Sometimes sunglasses to wear just for comfort and security.

There are other ways of reading an opponent than from their eyes. Hand movement, body movement, and position of their head are also ways of reading an opponent.
