Hell, most players HAVE dark glasses, though they don't all use 'em. Some of 'em have walkmen blasting, too, the better not to hear their opponent's bull$hit. Sometimes I think the goal of poker is to attain Nirvana via sensory deprivation, a la the Who's Tommy!<G>

2 guys come to mind who fit yer description, one is the legendary 3 time WSOP champ, the late Stu Ungar, who always blue granny glasses. The other is a more recent champ and pro Vegas player, Scotty Ngueyn. Personally, I don't like sunglasses...if yer thinking, you can misleed your opponents much more effectively if you DON'T wear 'em!<NG>
