im an ultra tool, as i don the glasses and the ipod

but you know what im fine with that, if you make a jugement on my poker ablility by the way I look, im even happier.


For the record i have found my long tournament play has improved due to the Ipod it alows me to switch off a bit during hands, giving me more concentration for longer periods.

The glasses is taking the piss mostly but i do like to stare at players for small tells and with them on i find doing this easier.

In the end though its about my own cofidence and if im happier wearing them then i wear them i dont give a rats toss what i look like to anyone.
Does anyone know how to make money playing uno vs 6 year olds, its about the only card game i get to play these days.

I find it uncomfortable looking someone in the eye or being looked in the eye by someone else. I once made a play at a pot at a Crown tournament and I thought everyone had folded. I looked around saw one guy still had his cards and as I looked up he was looking at me and I flinched LOL He called but lucky for me I hit the flop then the turn - I think I had J4o

I always wear sunnies, especially online, just in case someone get's a read by hacking my webcam...

In all seriousness though, I can't tell the difference between suits with them on inside so no I don't use them, even in big games.

Yes? - Why wear them? 8-)
No? - Why not ?("because you look like a tool" already covered) 8-)


You misquote me.

I think those who wear sunnies, simply because they see "pros" doing it are tools.

Seriously though, how many people at a regular 888PL event are watching you like a hawk tryinh to pick up a micro tell.
