The term describes how people playing poker are supposed
to make bets - with a blank expression on their faces when betting money (the
proverbial poker face) so other players at the table cannot read the expression
to figure if the bettor holds good bad cards.
When playing poker online a poker face is not needed at all.
You can jump up and down when you receive a good hand, brag aloud for your friends
to admire your luck, whatever. Your opponents will not have a clue. Also no one
can catch your usual poker tells. In online poker games, everyone has the
perfect poker face on!
This does not mean online poker is foolproof. Experienced
players can still tell a lot by observing your playing style and poker
strategy. This is why you should vary your online playing style and methods
often. This is a bluffing method used widely in poker games online. Try to keep
your emotions neutral at all times so that you can deceive your opponents.
Concealing your emotions with an online poker face will definitely confuse your
opponents, which can then result in your victory.
