If you took some time to read the article you would know that you just made and "ass" of yourself. The article is not about bluffing, it is about subconscious acts. It is saying that Jen's brain will observe other people bluffing without consciusly realizing it. This forum is for people who wish to talk about science, not dumb "asses" who want to gloat about their supposed skill in poker. To Jen AKA wanna be master poker player.

That ability is essential during a negotiation and has been known since the beginning of time. When two heads of enemy tribes gathered and the other wavered, at that time was dead. The same happens in these times, to get a job, get a contract or sell a product or service. Anyone who blinks, loses. Dear Sir.

I've been told, "You don't look very confident" when I have pocket Aces because I play into body language. This skill can be a better asset than pot odds or even having an actual good hand under your false demeanor. Bluffing, it's what poker players do best.
