So you’ve tried wearing Sunglasses at the Poker Table? If you're like me you’ve tried multiple sunglasses from mirrored Sport sunglasses from Oakley to El-Cheapo’s from Big W and the local Petrol station and everything I’ve tried to wear at the Poker Table indoors I just take-off eventually because I can’t see my cards or the colour of the chips for Shit !
Well, I think I’ve found the solution. Playing across from me in Event 4 of JHDSS7 was a dude with some reflective shades I’d seen heaps of players wearing at WSOP and WPT events on T.V. During a break in play I commented on his Sunglasses and he replied they’re not “Sun”glasses but poker eyewear or light enhancing lenses specifically made for playing poker in low light or even night driving. WTF? … I asked him if I could try them on , he handed them from across the table and when I put them on … well … all I can say is .. wow. It did not reduce any light at all and infact seemed to make things a little bit brighter even! I asked him where he got them from and he mentioned a company called Blue Shark Optics in the U.S. Price ranged from $89 - $149 U.S with $30 U.S. Dollars for International shipping.

A couple of us are thinking of ordering online (especially with the strong AUD) so let me know in the next week or two if you’re interested and we can probably buy several in one order and save a little on shipping.
Royal eye wear (http://www.royal-eyewear.com/) is the other poker glasses that are worn by the pros. They don't have as much variety but they are providing free shipping worldwide.
ReplyDeleteThanks Allan. I know Poker glasses may not be for everyone. Poker is a game of small edges and if you’re able to watch other people without them knowing or hide your own tells it can make a difference is some peoples games. Some people may use it as a shield to help relax at the table and some may use it as an intimidation factor when they stare-down someone during a hand. It’s all up to you ..
ReplyDeleteNote, I've received a reply back from Blue Shark Optics that the Cheapest of their range being the Young Phan edition glasses have been dicontinued and will not be available in future.
