| Practically, I thought it was just for those under bright lights. Didn't think of it for hiding your tells. Otherwise I immediately thought of the Poker Dogs painting and how corny they look. Sorry to those who wear them proudly and professionally...don't mean to be rude...just an observation.

| I honestly don't think this peaked hat would help because you're still able to see the people's face really. Glasses yeah, they can help I suppose. But do I personally? Nope. Why? Read the above that I just wrote.

| I wear a slouch hat and shades. I don't care whether I give anything away or not. I just think I look cool. I'm right in character when I'm through for the night to pull out my harmonica and play me some blues.

| It's not just the wearing of the peaked cap-you use it by holding your head dipped to make sure that the peak of the cap covers the whole of your face. Must make you look real shady I am sure, but it must work somewhat or else the pros wouldn't use them.

| Great interactions happening in here. Now I couldn't make up my mind where I should get in. But personally, I use a visor just for the sake of my look and not for the game itself. So it doesn't matter to me if I or my opponent have a visor, a sunglass, a peaked hat, or whatever is in the head, as long as I enjoy the game.

| I think some players feel the visor or sunglasses are an advantage. So they feel like they play better when they wear them. But I don't think it should effect the way anybody plays against them. Poker I faces are overrated. The object of the game is to lie when you don't have the nuts and act the same way when you do. Poker players are liers lol so you can't trust the face. Much more powerful are the tells we get from their hands stumbling when they make a bet or look at their hand and their past play at the table.

| I agree that poker players are liars and as such you can't trust the face to be sure. But then some people aren't very good at their bluffs and so you can tell what is really going on. That is where visors come in handy.
