How Does Maintaining A Poker Face Help You In Real Life?


While many of you already know what a poker face is, people often forget its importance. Having a poker face has been a practice for 150 years and has been very useful in various situations away from the card table. 

Learning the art of having a good poker face will help any individual reach goals faster and become a better leader in the work environment. Let’s look at what having a ‘good poker face’ means and how it is a helpful tool that provides multiple benefits in life away from poker.

What is a poker face? 

The term ‘poker face’ was reportedly first coined in the late 19th century by players who tried to maintain a blank expression in front of their opponents while bluffing or reconsidering their next move.

 Many recognise a poker face as an emotionless expression that can waive an opponent’s confidence. However, some positive facial features can propel players to have the upper hand against their counterparts, as a positive demeanour influences decisions directly. It could be facial expressions like raising eyebrows and a slight smile. 

Simply put, a poker face is an expression used by someone deliberately looking to avoid showing any obvious facial expressions and hiding their emotions.

How does a good poker face help in real life?

The poker face concept has great applications, especially when it comes to working in an office. Having a strong poker face means boasting the ability to regulate your emotions and maintaining neutral facial expressions, including your vocal tone and body language.

This ability to have a neutral expression makes it very difficult for anyone to read your intentions, emotions and thoughts. 

Such skills can be very handy when it comes down to negotiations. A person with a good poker face will have better chances of getting what you want in negotiations, may it be discussing a pay rise or getting a client to agree to a particular deal. 

It is also worth noting that having an emotionless face can denote confidence and is great for hiding nerves while concealing any potential weakness. Maintaining a poker face also deflects attention, which can help your cause in case of any slip-ups, which can come in handy. 

Therefore, learning how to develop a good poker face is very important. As a person develops this skill, they can keep their emotions in check, which helps on multiple fronts, especially in tense environments. This is how a perfect poker face can help you out, away from poker tables.
