What's wrong with sunglasses? I don't mind them, nor do I wear them.Also I think your eyes would be the last thing that gives your hand away. I mean seriouslt what can they do, blink, and move around...

Poker is considered a 'man's' game(that doesn't reference out ladies who play it well btw but the kind of class and sport that is associated with it. In my opinion sunglasses complete take that element away. I don't think they are so much about tells but being a sneaky snake to pick up tells... I think if you want to stare someone down you should have the gall to do it with them knowing.... Not to mention Sunglasses indoors are ridiculous...ha........ please don't ride me out of here or make me have to change my username my first day on this thing!

But with posts like this, you bring it on yourself. I suggest a new SN immediately and never speaking of this incident again.

I don't have a problem with long putters. There is no such thing as souped up tennis raquets. There are just expensive raquets and cheap raquets.

ok i'm switching to tennis- i want to go back to wood raquets or at least no titanium. then we can go back to the serve and volley days of borg and mcenroe who by the way don't wear sunglasses even in the sun...

No tennis players where sunglasses b/c it messes up depth perception.
