2Tone, this is not meant to offend, but if you are making decisions about your opponents' playing styles based on what they wear, you are not going to do very well.

The only thing that matters is how they play their hands. To take advantage of this, you need to be perceptive, you need to have a good memory, and you need to know how to use that information against them.

The minute you get a decent read on an opponent, they could be wearing a chicken suit for all that it matters. Still, while certainly not in all cases, I've found some generalizations (clichés?) hold pretty true. In my experience, young guys in sunglasses are often too aggressive. I view anything other than how any particular player plays their cards as secondary info, but potentially helpful none the less.

Default Fair enough

I see what you're saying, but how long does it take you to get a read on an opponent.

A couple of hands should give you more information than what clothes they are wearing.

By the way, it has been my experience that blind people absolutely suck at poker.

I also find young guys with shades think they are pro. I personally believe attire should be comfort based since you'll be sittin' for a long time.

i agree on the comfort front. of course this varies for every player. some might be comfortable in sweat pants and a t shirt, while others wear a shirt and tie. to each their own.

the only things that annoy me at a table are sunglasses at low limits. well, i guess it doesnt annoy me so much, it more just makes me laugh.

I've sat next to someone who stunk to high heaven. It was awful.
