I used to wear shades, so I could watch people without them knowing - no other reason.
Now I dont bother. It is possible to watch people without them knowing and not wearing shades
I also have no opinion on people who do/dont wear shades - it is up to them at the end of the day.
I do think that alot of people wear shades because they see Pro's on the TV wearing them though.

Wearing shades is not real poker playing imo. What, I intimidate you so much that you have to hide behind your shades to find the confidence you need to stare me down? If you don't have the ability to look someone in the eye and still retain control then you can't play poker imo.
Players who listen to ipod's confuse me. People who use shades AND ipods confuse me a lot. Poker is a game of information. You get that information from ONLY two sources, your ears and your eyes. These guys think blocking out 100% of ear info and shading their eye info is clever. I think it's ridiculous.

The reason for the thread was to ask about whether you believe extra info can be either gained from wearing shades or not given away from hiding behind them.
Mantis I disagree that only our eyes and ears tell us what our opponents have. My sixth sense tells me what he has as well. Have to trust your gut.
