I see this rather a lot for the professionals, that they wear a head covering with peak that will cover their face. The idea is to prevent their eyes or facial expression giving the game away, and so they keep their head looking down.
Do any of you use a visor?

| I got one as a birthday present once and I used to wear it when I played poker. It made me feel professional lol. My son took it because he thought it looked cool with his do-rag and I have never gotten it back

| Not me. I tend to have a good poker face and don't bother with the visor. I feel it hinders my view of the faces of others. Same goes for the sunglasses. Besides, with the sunglasses, I used to think they were because the players were hung over lol.

| I try not to get myself into games where people are that cut-throat. I play poker for fun, the possibility of earning money is just a bonus. I would find a hat and sunglasses a hindrance myself.

| I don't wear visors or anything, in fact I think that would only make it more obvious that I was trying to hide my facial expressions. I think it gives you a more experienced look when you do not try to cover up, but then again, that requires you to maintain straight faces.

Well, I've seen professional and even celebrity players wearing visors, so I don't think I would worry too much about it looking bad.
I read that one of the problems is that people will often question you about your hand, and it's almost impossible to lie and be convincing with your eyes when you do. So that's why visors are used.

| Well, personally, I don't wear any sort of visor when I'm playing poker. I believe that if you don't have a good poker face you should practice! I sometimes do where a visor but I tend to not make it a compulsion.

| I don't wear a visor, but my boyfriend always does. Frankly it annoys me, I think you should just learn to bluff better.
