Remember we mentioned that poker dealers wear visors to protect their eyes from glare? Players also do the same. Believe us, wearing sunglasses can deter people from talking to you. It may just be that you are not in a chatty mood. Also, visors are useful if you aren’t exactly looking to socialize. Some people aren’t just comfortable doing this. You would know that you need to sometimes stare at other players during a hand.
They need some time to acclimatize and use visors or sunglasses as some sort of security blanket. So these new players aren’t comfortable playing with others, yet. Now, some people aren’t exactly new to poker but are new to the live version. The explosion of poker has brought and continues to bring a lot of new players to the game. So if you put on visors/sunglasses, you are hiding a lot of physical tells. It’s an open secret that your eyes portray your emotions – happiness, concern, pain, and so on.
You can give away a lot of information with just your look during a hand. Most physical tells involve the eyes and that’s why some seasoned players wear visors/sunglasses.
