A Hint of Style at the Poker Tables

We've all heard that the eyes are the window to the soul, but the truth is, the eyes are the window to your WALLET!

When playing in the many casino poker rooms around the world, its important to do everything you can to keep yourself sharp, and in a winning position. One of the best things you can do is to be aware of your tells, and try to alter them or outright prevent them.

Many players will tell you that your eyes can give away alot of information. It may be a furtive glance at your chips to count your stack before a big raise, or it may be that flicker of doubt that passes through your eyes when you stare down an opponent who is considering a call. No matter what the case, keeping your eyes concealed could mean the difference between a win, and a loss against an astute player. Here at the Casino Snob offices, we have been looking for some options for you to conceal your eyes, while still looking sharp, and letting people know YOU will be the one climbing in through the window.

We have been checking out a series of different shades, all with varying features and styles, that can help hide your intentions from the other players at the table.

These Aviator glasses provide alot of eye coverage. They are big, they are available in various mirrored styles, and they can go a long way to hiding your intentions. They also have a classic look that we just love.

For a sportier, younger look, you can check out these Nike shades. They may not cover as much of your face as a big pear of aviators, but you will look sleek and dangerous, an image you can then exploit at the table.

For those of you who like to listen to tunes while you play, you won't want to miss these MP3 Shades. The only warning we'd let you know is that some poker rooms do not allow music devices, presumably to prevent collusion, and you'll want to be sure that your favorite rooms are ok with these bad boys.

For the ladies out there, nothing beats the Thelma and Louise look. These Fashion Glasses again provide alot of eye and facial coverage, to keep your "Big Slick" from being broadcast to the universe, and at the same time you'll look like a movie star.

In the end, whatever your style, you can go a long way toward concealing your motives by keeping the shades drawn on those windows. So be prepared, and come to your next poker game with some great looking eyewear.
