| Good poker face, or cover it up?
Does anyone here wear sunglasses and/or hats when they play poker? I haven't even worn any of them at home games, but if I was playing at a casino or big tournament I would probably wear both. I have also worn sunglasses from time to time for big online tournaments... 8)

In home games: I always wear a hat and sometimes sunglasses.
In the casino: I wear a hat sometimes but never sunglasses unless it was a tournament.
For online: I wear sunglasses, a ski mask, and a hat. I don't want to give away ANY tells!!

That's the idea! Forget about putting your opponents in a box. Put yourself in one. (Literally!)

| There is no emoticon that I know of (correct me here ConfusedONE...) that conveys 'lol' and 'that's disgusting' at the same time.
As for me, I wear a hat. No sunglasses, ever. I brought them with me to Regina, but kept them in my pocket the whole time. Is it weird to actually want your opponents to be able to see your eyes?
The good thing about hats is that they give you options. You can either see the players, and have them see you, or you can't and they won't. I guess sunglasses present options too... on or off... forget I said a word.
I have a friend who was considering playing in one of my home tournaments. He said that he would wear his motorcycle helmet with the black visor down the entire time, and I don't think he was kidding. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to make it out to the game yet.
