Setting up a fake tell is a pretty cool way to go also.. It requires some serious acting skill, though. Having the money available to get yourself a round or two into the bidding with a bad hand so people can see you "nervous" on a bluff can be expensive. And if it doesn't happen unless there's a cheap hand people might not even bother paying attention.

So here I am rubbing my gaotee right before I raise you 200.00. next round my bluff fails.. I do that twice more and everyone is dialed in on the goatee. Next time though I'm holding a straight flush to you're two pair you know is gonna beat me.

Trick is can you come up with a fresh one every time?

I don't think I'd feel comfortable wearing them myself during a game. For some reason, it doesn't come across too sportsmanlike. The eyes are not the only tell and the better players have been know to display all kinds of false signals.

I wouldn't want to play with someone wearing sunglasses. It makes you look a bit sneaky to me.

I do agree, some people can read others by their eyes. I don't have that gift.

I am a believer in playing poker at a live game with sunglasses. I've read some where that your eyes can give you away because of how they dilate. I for one won't take the chance if that is in fact the case. Anyone else wear sunglasses?
