Why are you allowed to wear sunglasses in poker?

Eye twitches, glancing at your chips, or looking away from an opponent's stare can all signal certain things at a poker table. With sunglasses on, you don't have to worry about your opponent's picking up any tells you might have from your eyes.

Look around any poker room, and there’s a decent chance you’ll find a few players wearing sunglasses at the table. While wearing sunglasses indoors might strike a certain stigma in most situations, it actually makes sense in some ways at the poker table. If you’ve seen a poker player wear sunglasses at the table, and wondered why, this article is for you.

Why Do Poker Players Wear Sunglasses?

Poker players that wear sunglasses are likely doing so in an attempt to disguise physical tells. Sunglasses conceal the areas right around the eyes, along with the eyes themselves. Eye twitches, glancing at your chips, or looking away from an opponent’s stare can all signal certain things at a poker table. With sunglasses on, you don’t have to worry about your opponent’s picking up any tells you might have from your eyes.

Other reasons poker players wear sunglasses might include:

To scan other players for tells without them knowing

To look cool or portray a table image

To shield from bright lights around the table

To improve mental focus

Why Do Poker Players Wear Hoodies and Headphones?

Hoodies provide many of the same perceived advantages as sunglasses do at the poker table. Hoodies conceal part of your face, and when paired with sunglasses can be an effective way to conceal your emotions at the poker table. Some players wear scarves around their neck while they play, and wrap the scarf over their mouth when involved in a hand. The COVID-19 pandemic normalized wearing masks at the poker table, and masks accomplish the same level of facial concealing as scarves. Headphones and earbuds are a longstanding tradition in poker. Blocking out the noise at a poker table can be an effective way to focus, but it also can lead to situations where players don’t hear verbal cues from the dealer and other players.

Sandbagging

The term sandbagging describes purposefully doing badly or failing a task to reduce expectations and then, when it counts, doing the best you can do to exceed any expectations. For example, in computer gaming, a player may purposefully lose at games to make the computer believe they're not as good as they are. Then, when the player's level is lowered, and they're competing against easier players, they play their best to get a sense of domination. In games where betting is involved, a person may sandbag others into thinking they're not very good so they can win when a high-stakes bet is made.

Is sandbagging cheating?

Yes. In all games and competitions, sandbagging is a form of cheating because you're giving yourself an unfair advantage. Players caught sandbagging may be disqualified from competitions or banned from competing in future competitions.
