What do you think of „props“ at the poker table?

I started learning about poker by watching Rounders and then classic matches. I remember being awe-struck by the poise the players held no matter what their cards or what cards turned up. I started watching more recent games and noticed a huge trend: props. What I mean by props is things like sunglasses, hoodies, earphones, etc. I understand why players use these things, but they kind of bug me. Keeping your emotions in check is part of the skill of playing poker, and part of what I love about live games. I credit myself as an amazing reader, and it would really unnerve me if other players were taking that element of the game away. Not to mention, I feel props are a crutch; rather than dealing with a problem that not only affects your poker player but your life in general, props only mask it. But what’s a player to do if suddenly his ray-bans get stolen?

Anyway, how do you feel about them?
I meant I felt they would be a crutch for a person as an individual, not for me because of my special talent. I think it’s better to work on a flaw rather than utilize a tool in order to cover it up. That’s like people who feel they have to get drunk to have fun; why not just learn how to have fun in any situation?
But I like what one of the first posters said; I’ve often heard analogies between poker and war, and in war, it makes sense to use any weapon at your disposal. I can dig that.
Great point, sabes. I suppose if I were a good enough poker player, I wouldn’t need an abscence of props to help my game. I’m by no means a good or even intermediate player, but I do enjoy the aspect of „reading“ opponents that live games offer, so I guess it’s just a pet peeve.

Do you get nicotine from Cigars?

My friends and I have a once a month poker night (all girls) and we smoke cigars while we play. I don’t inhale, so am I getting nicotine? I’ve smoked cigarettes before, although I don’t usually, and I know they have given me a buzz, but cigars don’t seem to do that.
I just asked because I don’t want to get hooked or feel like starting to smoke cigarettes again.
