Should Sunglasses Be Banned from Live Poker?

rdwr33 · Mar 14, 2017

In your blog, Doyle Brunson:"I had already said it for some time, the ban will be more a way to prevent cheating because any marked card is easier to see with glasses,".

I think there is nothing to do, because if it were so every final table would only have players with sunglasses

sunglasses are no biggie, ban for what? all u have to do is outplay your opponent

Slav4obaby · Mar 14, 2017

sunglasses ? fuk no

parks124 · Mar 21, 2017

No. I don't have a consistently strong "game face." So I like to keep my options open. You have to keep every advantage that you can in poker.

For many, sunglasses are anti-allergen.
Why should they be banned?

BigJamo · Mar 22, 2017

I think we should all be open faced, hatles and hoodieless.
Seems like their trying to hide something.

Senneville · Mar 22, 2017

not sure its the goo thing to do . Maybe put a max time of each time a hand is played maybe more effective for the game. Anyway when someone putt is sunglass first of all he want to no show something. So sunglass on be more observer for my part. but dont change my game anyway

Each one probably has their own paradigm in that regard. Maybe sometimes they put many hours into it and don't want to appear they are tired or weary, others, a trademark of their uniqueness. For some others, maybe migraines or headaches. One can only tell. I remember when I played a few live games with them bc I seen them being used on TV. Didn't really help much. Had they did, I would have been more superstitious and used them. They actually worsened my play bc my eyes would feel more strained and tired.

I'm not sure if it's an exaggeration or not but I like that they are allowed. Ask an FBI investigator if you can wear your favorite pair of shades when he asks you questions and see how that goes over--clearly, they can hide reactions (tells).

Claude Chiasson · Mar 22, 2017

I don't think so, some people have trouble with the light (eye sensitive), some have no poker face so sunglasses help them.

max entropy · Mar 24, 2017

Absolutely not.Everyone should come as they like.The outfits give some info.

Jeremy Laninger · Apr 1, 2017

They don't bother me. I feel people should wear what they want.

Bad · Apr 2, 2017

No but hoodies should be.

Two6JJ · Apr 2, 2017

No, unless technology manages to turn them into live HUD's then maybe.

In my opinion if they would have to be banned, I think that players should not use them, it is something that has nothing to do at a table I think they try to play the same way online where they know that nobody watches them, osea sunglasses Are for the outdoor sun not at a poker table in a closed area

FeRRi0 · Apr 2, 2017

I think, thats all about players personal skills in poker, not about sunglasses.
So - absolutely no problem, anyone can come as he like! Mb someone need sunglasses to feel himself itself cool

I agree that sunglasses

can give you only modest edge. But poker is game of accumulating small scraps here and there to get greater of your adversary, so small edge might be sometimes quite to win. As for social aspect, completely agree. I go to play live poker for different experience. I can play against "faceless persons" at a comfort of my home.

I dont think sunglasses can give some1 a advantage,ofcurse if you dont tihink all day..why is he wearing sunglasses...than he will have a mental advantage cuz your not focussing on the right things.No point to ban them unless there a hiden A they cant change the way the cards show.Focus on your game a good live player would laugh when will re-raise your AT with a wierd 23 and youll put him on AA with out even thinking that he may bluff

mange1234 · May 24, 2017

No problem

I see no problem with a player wearing sunglasses.

cheeeer · May 24, 2017

Yes, but only online.

Daniel Negreanu first called for the abolition of sunglasses. Why he can not sit still?

I first called for the abolition of players who tell us what to wear.

Maybe you just don't know something?

By the way, I never wear sunglasses. I prefer helmets.

I think that with the exception of the places that there is a clear intention to cheat, it does not have problems. If you think wearing sunglasses gives you a great advantage, use one as well.

I do not pay much attention to the rival's glasses or not, and I do not wear glasses myself
