+EV for wearing my PP visor?

[idrinkcoors]

One of my few times playing live this coming weekend. Besides looking like a dork, is there any value in wearing my party poker visor?

P.S. Serious question: is it THAT bad to wear sunglasses at the lower limit tables.

I like to wear a full outfit of party gear, including 2 hats.

Wear a full suit of plate mail armor, then you'll look like a dork

unless you have some sort of eye-sight problem it is generally pretty silly to wear sunglasses at low-limit (I actually am very sensitive to certain types of light....so I legitimately get to look like a dork sometimes).


Otherwise, there is not really anything to gain by TRYING to look like a dork.

If you are playing mid-high stakes and WANT to convey a really dork-ish image then I think the Party visor is the way to go.

On the PPM cruise there were LOTS of players happily sporting their Party gear everywhere they went (including in the poker-room at the cash-game tables) and not-a-one of them failed to make it to the standard of, "Look at me. I'm a total dork!!"

Thanks Bob,

I like the sunglasses though, as I feel I can check everyone out without having the stareback. Call me a wimp, but I hate the staredown.

Maybe if I can satellite my way into the Festa tournaments, I'll be the only one with a PP visor. PP representin! Holla.

Maybe not.

So here's my summary of the conversation.

You: Is it really bad to wear sunglasses at low-limit poker?
MicroBob: Yes.
You: Eh, screw that. I'm doing it anyway.

Why did you even ask? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Also, yes, you will look ridiculous. If you're okay with looking like a tool, more power to you. But be aware that's the impression you'll give.

Whether or not it's +EV to look foolish, I don't know. Personally, I just couldn't feel comfortable enough knowing everyone was laughing at me to make it worthwhile.

i like the pp visor, but then again i have an online wardrobe at this point.

its fun when you can wear the stars turtleneck, collarshit, and fleece, and have the beenie w/ a hat, not to mention the coffee cup.

I was very seriously considering wearing all the Stars, Absolute, pokernow and UB crap I have on the party cruise.
Didn't go through with it though...but I thought it would have been kind of amusing.


I also thought about wearing a party shirt to the PokerStars pre-WSOP gathering at the Mirage.

Aside from looking silly, how do you even see when you're wearing sunglasses in a dim casino?
