Default Sunglasses

Hi - this is a question for those who use sunglasses (as opposed to a debate on the use of sunglasses).

What are the best sunglasses for playing poker? Any general recommendations or tips?

(For instance, mirrored sunglasses can actually help opponents see your cards in some cases.)

Thanks,

-ptmusic

I prefer prescription sunglasses because I am legally blind without corrective lenses.

I use different ones for different hands. Yellow means big pair. Green means suited connectors. Red means I'm on the draw, and pink is my way of saying "nice hand" in the most sarcastic way possible.

I think I read in Bluff magazine that Chris Ferguson uses Oakleys.

people that use sunglasses at the poker table are losers, regardless of their bankroll.

yep.

page 251
"Do not wear wrap-around sunglasses, hooded sweatshirts, or other clothing intended to obsure your face. You are playing small stakes hold'em, not training for covert operations. You do not need full camouflage gear to beat the array of tourists, recreational gamblers, and retirees at your table. They are not sweating your every facial tick to "see into your soul." These items only hide things that your opponents are not looking for. They do, however, may make you look intimidating and overly intense."
