Question Sunglasses?

What does everybody think about wearing sunglasses? Does it make you look like a poser if you're not Phil Helmuth? Or do they really help conceal your intentions?

I don't like to wear sunglasses when I'm playing with my friends, b/c thats pretty unnecessary if you ask me. At least at the live games I play, its more fun than serious, although we do play for money, its not all that much. And if you wore them at one of my games, I'd just make fun of you all night.

In the casino, I kinda feel like I'm trying to be better than I am wearing sunglasses, but I do always have them on me, just in case I feel it'll help. Most often I don't wear them though.

I notice alot of people wear them in the casino, and thats fine, there are other reads you can make besides looking at their eyes. You play your way, I'll play mine.

I dont wear them in by home game because like Trips said, most players in my game arent really looking out for alot of tells. But if I was playing in a live game with better player then I would, because since there are alot of tells you can give off with your eyes, its just one less thing that you need to worry about while your playing and you can concentrate on other parts of your game.
