I wonder what some professional poker players want to achieve with a table image that is so cold with the quiet demeanor plus a baseball cap, and dark glasses to boot. Maybe they want to let others see them as a tough, serious player so they can intimidate them. But when you think of it, have this very cold table image and you will most likely get opponents that you do not want to play against.
In case a recreational player is passing by some tables of poker. One table has people wearing caps, headsets, dark glasses and the works while on another table a group of people talking to each other, wearing comfortable clothes, and smiling during a round of poker. Where do you think the recreational poker player will join?
In case you are on a table that has players who are mean, cold, and tough. Will you be enjoying the game? Of course not, most likely you will tighten up and also be cold to everyone. You will also not last long with boring company who does not care about you and just cares about getting all your poker chips. This is oppose to the picture of joining a group of poker players who are just having good time.
The great players of poker though know how to put up a gambling image. You will have a hard time reading them since they can vary how they handle their cards. They will get the chips in the long run but they can appear to be losing during some rounds. They have it all planned out.
Exert some effort to get the gambling image on the poker table. Enjoy the game and loosen up a bit. It is nice to meet the best players and get to know poker without those dark glasses.
