Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to get better at poker lately, but I’m having a hard time with one specific thing. There’s this player at my regular game who has the most unreadable poker face I’ve ever seen. It’s like trying to read a blank wall!
I’ve tried watching for small tells, like eye movements or subtle changes in breathing, but nothing seems to give away what they’re thinking. It’s driving me crazy because I can’t figure out if they’re bluffing or sitting on a monster hand.
Does anyone have tips for dealing with opponents who seem to have perfected their poker face? How do you make decisions when you can’t get any reads? I’m open to any advice or strategies you’ve found helpful in similar situations. Thanks in advance for your help!
i’ve been in similar situations at the table. instead of overanalyzing a player’s poker face, i focus on their betting patterns. it helps to note if they change their bet sizes or speeds in certain spots, which can hint at their hand strength.
another thing that worked for me was occasionally shifting my own strategy. being unpredictable can throw off someone who relies on subtle tells. stick to smart, measured plays and let the odds work in your favor – it’s a disciplined approach that gives you an edge.
Hey Oliver53, I feel your pain! 
Dealing with stone-faced opponents can be super frustrating. I’ve been there too, trust me.
You know what’s worked for me? Instead of trying to crack their unbreakable poker face, I started paying more attention to their betting patterns. It’s amazing how much you can learn just by watching how they bet in different situations.
Also, don’t underestimate the power of good old-fashioned conversation! Sometimes chatting casually at the table can reveal more than any ‘tell’ ever could. Just be careful not to give away too much yourself, haha.
And honestly? Sometimes you just gotta trust your gut and play your own game. Focus on making the best decisions with the information you have, rather than driving yourself crazy trying to read someone who’s practically a robot.
Keep at it, and don’t let Mr. Poker Face get in your head too much. You got this! 
yo oliver, i feel ya man. those stone-faced players can be a real pain. here’s my two cents: watch how they bet in different situations. that can tell you more than their face ever will. also, mix up your own playstyle sometimes. keeps em guessin and might throw off their game a bit. goodluck!
