This venerable pastime, played by everyone from lowlife Old West thugs to debonair millionaires, is founded on the ability to read faces and prevent your own from being read. To scrutinize the slightest nuance in others' words, eyes, affects. To exercise absolute control over every muscle spasm, eye twitch, and verbal tic. To keep your head under pressure, calculate the odds on the fly, and control your emotions with an iron fist. This is where the term "Poker Face" comes into [[{{Pun}} play]]; where you have to maintain completely blank expression on your face regardless of the cards you have on hand. That way your opponent(s) would be unable to guess or decipher what your cards are, and thus you can even the playing field or even gain an advantage during the game. It is for this reason why having a poker face is so vital for every player to have.

* In the ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'' anthology story, "Let's play cards with senpai", Touko's poker ''face'' is fine. The rest of her body? Not so much. They're playing Old Maid and Yuu accuses Touko of having the Joker, which Touko denies with a straight face... while shaking so violently that her chair is clacking against the floor. This flaw is mercilessly exploited by both Yuu and Sayaka, which means Touko loses and (almost) has to wear the maid uniform they found.
