The thing it did help me with was the observation of other players. I do like to study other players very closely - the way the hold their cards, play with their chips, tap their feet, how quickly their jugular is pulsing, eyebrow movements etc. I found that i could study a player a lot more closely without them realising it. Normally if a player realises that you are staring at them they will either look away or put their 'poker face on'. So sunnies were a great way to watch people without them knowing it.
It worked especially well when a flop was being dealt. One of the best things i have read to do is to watch the other players face when the flop is being uncovered. It is quite easy to see whether a player is happy or dissapointed with a particular flop, as most players watch the flop closely as it is being rolled out and it will always be there for me to look at later. Sunnies helped with this observation too.
I like them, and will definately be wearing them again, especially for special events.
Been doing that for years Macca and for those exact reasons.
Its worth all the pay-outs you receive, plus it feels like you're in your own little "bubble"
