Do you wear hoodies, glasses or any other attire or accessory to the table when you are playing in either a live tournament or cash game in the casino or do you prefer the relaxed approach? I personally never wear anything to hide my tells i like making eye contact and seeing if i can get a tell on someone and when it's reversed, i like them to look at me and see if they can get a tell on me. You can dupe them by scratching your ear when you bluff and then scratch it the next time when you've got the nuts. Anyway what are your thoughts?

I wear a hoodie because it is usually cold. I wear a mask to protect myself - but there is the added advantage of it hiding my face which I like.

Doing fake tells is too hard to keep up with - I just relax and enjoy playing.

I don't worry so much about hiding the tells, if I wear glasses or a cap it will be a clothing option and not as a game option, I relax and play.

Wearing sunglasses indoors is seen as a (well i don't really wanna say lol) the only place you can get away with wearing them indoors is at a poker table so it must be for an edge surely?? Unless you mean normal glasses but judging from your profile pic..

The best clothing is a hooded sweatshirt to avoid making unwanted movements so that the opponent can read them when betting, it is better to give less information to opponents at the poker tables because they could take advantage of it to get a lot of chips from you.

Notwithstanding a mask to protect against Covid, I like it cool, so I’m usually in shorts and a T-shirt. No sunglasses, scarves or hoodies to hide tells.

The only time I went to play live was in a crop-top. Imagine my *delight* when I found myself in a room full of men. Definitely opting a shirt that covers my waist next time :')

For me it's dressing as much as possible in a game that will last a long time because in the end if you wear something that affects your concentration it would be disadvantageous.

I'll be blunt, I never know what to wear, or is it because I've never played live.:ROFLMAO:
