Hiding True Intentions

Some poker players are wearing sunglasses, hoodies, caps, etc., just to hide their identities. But, a good player should also consider the gestures of their opponents. Below are the poker clues that a poker player should know.

Avoid too much talking – excessive talking is a big NO in the poker room. Avoid the obvious things to trick your opponent without revealing your true intentions.

Standardize your movement – if you are familiar with an animal “chameleon” that change skin colors as natural defense mechanism. Make your movements similar to other players so that they will not notice your playing patterns.

Watch your eye contact – try to hide your emotions especially during rough situations. Remember the phrase that “eyes are the windows to the soul”, watch your eye movements so that they will not sense your next move.
