Re: I think wearing dark glasses while playing poker is bullshit
I've worn sunglasses a few times when I've played. I've actually found that they haven't helped all that much. To an extent, they help with an intimidation factor, because people seem more distant and menacing when you can't see their eyes (that's the same reason that cops always wear sunglasses). If sunglasses were banned, I wouldn't mind it, just because I don't normally wear them, and I do fine without them, but I don't really think that it's necessary. Most people who have to wear sunglasses aren't really a factor in the game and usually have a lot of tells other than their eyes, so I don't mind playing against them either.
