Sunglasses?

[Jimany]

Ok I know a few people might think I might start talking about the pros/cons of wearing sunglasses, but taking a little different approach here. Well my brother just got back from Spain, & I did get a lovely pair of sunglasses out of it from the duty free, which did get me thinkin about how (no need for insults lads) strong* a poker image i had while looking in the mirror. Now I didn't think i'd go into the local casino with them on, would merely catch a few giggles at me at best in there, but did notice something in the mirror (apart from the gorgeous fella looking back at me of course ;)) There is a glare off the sunglasses, whereas I could see everything in the mirror quite vivid. Which reminded me of the last pair of sunglasses I had, on a trip to Dublin with a buddy, where he kept seeing which card I had next in Top Trumps and played his stat accordingly. So brings me to a little devious question, any lot of you devils use this to your advantage? If so, how and why? Or is the 'why' obvious? Just thinking and I know from watching the WSOP that a lot of players wear sunglasses there. Is it something to use to your advantage? Or do you feel it is bad etiquette to keep an eye open? Do you feel it's the player's fault in the first place? Have fun lads :lol:ok *By Strong i mean how still and lifeless players like Chris Ferguson look while playing. Quite like a predator stalkin' it's prey until it strikes!

Re: Sunglasses? Does the use of sunglasses at a poker table actually make a diference? I'm not one for looking out for "tells" at a table as I get caught up thinking about too much before I decide what i'm doing. My cards, position, odds etc. is enough as it is!

I know what you mean about people sniggering. I was at Westcliffe casino in Southend a few weeks ago with a couple of mates for a MTT freezeout. a guy got on our tables with a hoody and sunglasses on. One of my more "gobby" mates said to him - "Sunglasses eh?" - Guy nods - "Can you take them off please or I wont know what cards you've got" - "shut up you sarcy c**t" :unsure Southend eh? :lol
