A poker face is a blank, emotionless expression used to hide what you’re really feeling during a poker game. The goal is simple: don’t give away any clues (called tells) about whether you have a strong hand, a weak hand, or if you’re bluffing.
The term has become popular even outside of poker—it means keeping your cool and not showing your emotions in any high-pressure situation. But at the poker table, it’s a skill. A good poker face helps you stay unreadable and makes it harder for opponents to guess your next move.
Whether you’re holding aces or air, your expression can give a lot away—unless you master your poker face.
