In response to KC, when I'm up against someone who has bet to me on the river I, take the glasses off. At this point my tells don't matter and I get the same benefits you mention when assessing the possible bluffer. I think my eyes are the hardest tell to control, so I opt for the shades.

If you read my article on sunglasses, you already know we disagree. You make a great argument for wearing sunglasses, but I really believe not wearing them is an advantage for me. If somebody is giving away tells with his eyes, I believe he'd be better served to address the issues causing this rather than to simply mask the symptoms. He probably has more tells than his eyes and covering one symptom is not going to solve the problems. For me, I want people to know exactly where I'm looking. If they are bluffing me, I want to stare at them and let them know I'm looking and watching. I'm going to look at them for a long while and I want them to look into my eyes so they know that I'm observing every action they make. If I do that, they may think twice about bluffing me again.
