Heeh... last night I played some NL50 live and wore sunglasses at the table for the first time. I thought I would feel douchey and attract unwanted attention at the table, but turns out I felt quite comfortable in them and think it actually helped my game. Everyone is friends with each other so just a friendly casual home poker game, but I did receive many accolades for how pimp my glasses looked, being smoke gray mirror finish and all. Not sure how much of it was just jive and how much was legit, but they all seemed to act like it made me look more fearsome at the table and they were less comfortable engaging me in pots. LOL i know how gay all this sounds but it did help my confidence and thus helped me play a more solid game.
The real reason I brought them was so I could study players without them noticing. Im not quite comfortable staring someone down, and since this is a homegame I dont want to look like an asshole like Tom Dwan or someone doing it either. As a result I feel confident I picked up some pretty rock solid tells, in the sense like who stares at the board when they have a real hand vs who stares at their opponent when trying to bluff etc etc.
Anyway all was fun and I think I'll start wearing them all the time now hehe. 4 BI win for the session.

As they often say, first impression is so important in everything. Because you had one good session with the sunglasses, now you will fashion it casually during live games. I recommend fashioning ipod with huge headsets to maximize your douchebag image. |

I understand what you are saying because I often feel like an idiot playing in a $1/2 casual game being the only one with glasses on. But like you - the only reason I do it is so I can study everything they are doing without them being extremely uncomfortable because I'm eyeballing the fuck outta them. |
