I like that part about the loudmouth tell. I will have to watch for that next time I play and see if it is true. I have the feeling that you are right.
Consider wearing a full face hockey mask with built in shaded eye sockets to your next poker game. That way you can grimace all you want when you see a crappy flop.
I wonder if thats allowed. I'd consider it. A nice Darth Vader mask could possibly be intimidating

Reminds me of an old 2+2 thread (can't find it?), where there was talk about a welder's mask or full ninja suit with little smoke bombs so no one could get a read...
I wear eyeglasses so sunglasses are out of the question. I would only wear them if I thought I was outclassed.
I wear a baseball hat all the time. It definitely helps at a poker table, just to shade your eyes. Also, the forehead is the hardest to control facial muscle.
Before you go, decide what you're going to do with your hands. Hands are a HUGE source of tells. You're not going to be able to do much about them shaking, only experience takes care of that. But basically, practice getting your cards, squeezing them and then protecting them with your bauble or a chip. Do this over and over and over and OVER before you go. You will have quite a bit to think about, better make sure that the one thing EVERY player at the table is looking at will be done by rote.
Heh, as an aside, I have a tell on one of my home game regulars:
Bet with right hand: decent hand or a draw/semibluff
Bet with left hand: MONSTER
Bet with both hands: bluff
I'm NEVER going to tell him
Thanks for the great response.
As far as the tell you've got on this guy, how often do you have to cover that you've figured it out? Do you find that you have to bet into his "monster" a little bit so that he doesn't get suspicious? or, let him have his bluff sometimes if the pot didn't have much in it to start with?
