Do you wear sunglasses at the poker table?

mAVRICK · Sep 16, 2014

only at casino games

I wear them but the last time i wore them at a game the lighting was to dark and couldn't see the cards.

sure it helps.. the eyes can say alot

To all the people talking about the lighting, you could try the colour changing lenses... although if its really dark and they go clear i guess its kinda pointless xD

I'm using sunglasses never. I don't like it, altough its a useful thing I think!

if youre that worried about giving away tells with your eyes,. the chances are the rest of your body is already screaming out tells

I don't wear them. But, if I ever do get a pair I will find frames I like. Get my progressive lenses and them possibly ship them to shark optics for coating.

I want them to mask where I am looking, cut down glare, not darken the room, and look good! All this and I need those bifocals to read my hole cards!

Getting (being) old sucks!

Sunglasses Are Pretty Good The Pros Watch Your Eyes!

Anything you can do to keep people from reading you? It does give somewhat of an advantage to eliminate that part of people reading your movements, especially when you're first starting and are really nervous..

No Glasses ,just get a hoodie.

Rawdeal1955 · Sep 20, 2014

yes I wear them yes I feel that they do help unless room is dark then I can't see my laptop

Live, in a standard casino, I'd look at sunglasses as a weakness, a player who isn't comfortable in the live arena.

joe777 · Sep 30, 2014

Nope,it will make me sleepy and lost focus.

MrPokerVerse · Sep 30, 2014

Just prescription glasses but I do have a pair with a slight tint.

HaHa sue! The only time I wore them this last trip to Vegas was when after all the lights were out and the curtains were pulled tight--it was still too bright for my eyes in my room!........

I wear my sunglasses at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56HSPQHSqEE

For live play i thing its usefull,dont show the eye expresions.

86Andi86 · Oct 2, 2014

May be useful. You do not have online poker at glasses

Eminescu99 · Oct 2, 2014

Good question unknown322.
Another question would be: if you trust in you, have you wear sunglasses?
My opinion is it depends on the character of each of us

blitzenfish · Oct 2, 2014

I wear reading glasses when I play and usually a ball cap. I thought of wearing sunglasses but I can't see nearly as well and would probably screw up.

xRedhood · Oct 5, 2014

Sunglasses are def a bit of a cop out - true live players have the composure to succeed without, though I know some people have conditions, etc that make it impossible without

Robert131313 · Oct 5, 2014

IM PREFERED USING HOODIE INSTEAD OF SUNGLASSES))

arizoney · Oct 5, 2014

cant use them i need to wear cheaters to see cards especially suites

PlayedYou73 · Oct 5, 2014

When you look at the lighting in some poker rooms, having sunglasses on isn't necessarily a sign of a person trying to hide tells (although it usually is). They could also have a sensitivity to the type of lighting that is used in the room. I know I do.

This is a HUGE problem for me in some room--the lighting.

Glare Glare GLARE!

Unfortunately I need my glasses (bifocals) to see the cards in my hand as well as the board. I have anti-reflective coating on these but they are no match for some poker room lights!

I am seriously thinking of getting a pair of progressive bifocals with NO coatings at all so that I can send them to a certain company to have them put on their coating.

Do you wear sunglasses at the poker table?
