Why do people wear sunglasses in low-limit and mid-limit holdem games?

But not b/c it scares people off. It's just someone taking themselves too seriously. That is, I think the fish wear glasses. And, when that's true, hiding their eyes does them no good because it's usually their hands that give them away anyway.

I used to wear glasses, and they did accomplish something.

I definitely agree with your post. You don't have to be hostile just because you are wearing glasses. They can mask your staring, watching other players instead of the flop when it comes out, etc. You can still laugh, joke, and have a good time with the fish and make them feel comfortable by wearing glasses. Also, many fish wear glasses and act all serious today anyways with the TV poker phenomenon. Sunglasses can be nice in casino's with oddly placed bright lights as well! I see nothing wrong with wearing them.
