Can someone explain why it's acceptable to wear hats & sunglasses to hide your face in a game built around reading people?

The eyes and face have the most "tells" in poker, but there is no rule against protecting oneself from revealing a tell.

Why not? It has always seemed very cheap and cowardly to me.

If your poker face is that weak, then maybe you shouldn't be a pro.

99.9% of people cannot hide their tells, It's weakness that everyone has and a real pro can read yours like a book. Part of the game is deciding to fold or not by "reading" your opponent, and since it is part of the game then part of the game is to hide or disguise tells that you may give. Ergo, some try to hide theirs with glasses or clothing. Oerfectly legal.
