I was reading about medieval spies the other day—how they had to mask their emotions, control their breathing, and manipulate their words to survive in enemy courts. It struck me that poker players are the modern-day version of that.
Think about it—when was the last time you saw someone truly master the poker face? Not just sitting still, but controlling every micro-expression, every blink, every subtle muscle twitch that could give away a hand. In an age where online poker dominates and bluffing is reduced to a well-timed bet, have we lost the psychological war that made poker great?
Casinos still have live poker rooms, but I rarely see that legendary, stone-cold, unreadable face anymore. Have players become too reliant on analytics and math, or is the true art of deception still alive? Anyone here ever successfully pulled off a next-level bluff purely through body language?
