Ray Ban

However, they're a little on the expensive side...

I started learning about poker by watching Rounders and then classic matches. I remember being awe-struck by the poise the players held no matter what their cards or what cards turned up. I started watching more recent games and noticed a huge trend: props. What I mean by props is things like sunglasses, hoodies, earphones, etc. I understand why players use these things, but they kind of bug me. Keeping your emotions in check is part of the skill of playing poker, and part of what I love about live games. I credit myself as an amazing reader, and it would really unnerve me if other players were taking that element of the game away. Not to mention, I feel props are a crutch; rather than dealing with a problem that not only affects your poker player but your life in general, props only mask it. But what's a player to do if suddenly his ray-bans get stolen?

Anyway, how do you feel about them?
I meant I felt they would be a crutch for a person as an individual, not for me because of my special talent. I think it's better to work on a flaw rather than utilize a tool in order to cover it up. That's like people who feel they have to get drunk to have fun; why not just learn how to have fun in any situation?
But I like what one of the first posters said; I've often heard analogies between poker and war, and in war, it makes sense to use any weapon at your disposal. I can dig that.
Great point, sabes. I suppose if I were a good enough poker player, I wouldn't need an abscence of props to help my game. I'm by no means a good or even intermediate player, but I do enjoy the aspect of "reading" opponents that live games offer, so I guess it's just a pet peeve.

If players know it bugs you, then all the more reason to wear sunglasses at your table. That's as long as it does not affect their play because of occasionally misreading their hand for example. Use every weapon you have.

I'm thinking of purchasing some fake "reader" glasses from Urban Outfitters to accessorize, but I can't decide which ones to purchase. I wish I could go to the store and try them on, but there isn't a UO near me. The choices are:

Depp Readers:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/cat alog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=t rue&itemCount=10&startValue=1&am p;selectedProductColor=&sortby=& id=16654451&parentid=M_ACC_READERS&a mp;sortProperties=+product.marketingPrio rity,-product.startDate&navCount=33& amp;navAction=poppushpushpush&color= &pushId=M_ACC_READERS&popId=M_AC C_SUNGLASSES&prepushId=MENS_ACCESSOR IES

Big W Wafarer Reader: (IN BLACK)

Holly Readers:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/cat alog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=t rue&itemCount=10&startValue=11&a mp;selectedProductColor=&sortby=& ;id=14983050&parentid=M_ACC_READERS& amp;sortProperties=+product.marketingPri ority,-product.startDate&navCount=81 &navAction=poppushpushpush&color =&pushId=M_ACC_READERS&popId=M_A CC_SUNGLASSES&prepushId=MENS_ACCESSO RIES

Big W Wafarer:
I'm leaning towards these. They are similar to the Holly Readers but offer a modern look as opposed to the Holly Reader's 50's look. Keep in mind that I'm kind of interested in the nerd look so the big lenses are a plus. They are also relatively new on Urban Outfitters compared to the others.

Holly Readers:
These are a little older so these lenses actually have 5 reviews on the website and everyone has rated this item high! The only thing I'm worried about is the older 50's look. The Big Wayfarers might be better?

Depp Readers:
The reason why I don't want to choose these is because they don't offer big lenses. But the fact that the lenses are smaller means that they look more sophisticated and I could wear them more comfortably in crowds. I like the attention I would receive with the bigger lenses, but sometimes this isn't always suitable.

Keep in mind that these are just accessories, and I would like your opinion on the matter. My feelings are conflicted.

the first one fit yer specs... i mean they are like black, classy and simple.
