Should hoodies, scarves, and sunglasses be allowed to be worn at the poker table, or do you think it's too distracting? Do you make assumptions about what type of poker player they are? Is this a good strategy for preventing tells, or is it just a huge tell by itself?

May it be distracting or not, I would not disallow what others are comfortable to wear. Can't tell any or assume any from it. In fact, as inspired by the "Unabomber" Phil Laak back then, I used to wear a hoodie & sunglasses in my early playing days. Not as a strategy or to avoid tells or anything, just that it makes me feel confident. I'll still probably do so today tho I do not play near as much lately like I did before.
