Finding your poker face is something that must be done if you’re going to play poker and expect to ever win. You don’t want to be giving away information to an experienced player if you can prevent it.

Learning how to control your actions involves more than just being able to sit still when you hit your full house on the river. Many opponents will ask you questions like “how much is your remaining chip stack?” or “will you show me if I fold?” to gauge your reaction.

The best poker face is a sterile poker face. If you can keep your movements to equal pauses between actions, and dictate your action the same way each time, you will have a killer poker face anyone would have difficulty seeing through. Keep your actions equal regardless of the hand you hold, and leave the Hollywood stuff for the more experienced professionals.
