Poker Sunglasses
Hide some tells with some cool eyewear

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.  It is for this reason many professional poker players choose to wear some very cool eyewear at the poker table.  When you play poker it may take just a brief lapse in concentration, a glance, a stare, a blink to betray the strength of your hand.  When you wear sunglasses it allows you to give less information away with your eyes.  It also allows you to study other players for tells without them knowing you are watching them.  However you choose to play make sure you wear something cool at the table.

TOP POKER EYEWEAR TIPS

Don't be cheap!  Cheap sunglasses tell other players you have not won enough money to buy quality sunglasses!

Avoid lenses that look red, yellow, amber, or brown when you look through them.  These colors can make reading red cards difficult in poor light.

Never clean lenses with a tissue or paper towel, you will scratch the lens or damage special lens coatings.

You don't have to buy polarized lenses for indoor use.  Polarizing technology is not necessary indoors.

Keep your sunglasses on when playing.  Only putting the glasses on occasionally could be a tell.

Maui Jim sunglasses, great for poker and outdoors

Maui Jim sunglasses are considered by many to be the best in the world when it comes to the lenses.  The remarkable lens technology allows vivid colors to show through while at the same time protecting the eyes with the state of the art polarized lens technology.  At the table the shiny glass partially mirrored lenses will obscure your eyes.  The lenses are available in rose, bronze and black.  While the rose and bronze work great outside, they have a tendency to make it hard to read red cards in a dimly lit room.  The black lenses provide far better color contrast and are therefore a better buy.

Serengeti sunglasses, one of the best lens technology in the world
