Amazingly, the love for this game and its highly regarded goal to win produced a few unique skills, which include sporting a poker face. Exactly how did this skill become part of the poker game and what is exactly is a poker face according to today’s definition? This is what we are going to explore in this article.
Let us all rediscover facts about the poker face such as the place it was invented, the time and the people involved.Poker face, as the name implies, was invented in an effort to win poker. It was first observed in 1885. The players of this game base their moves according to what they think the opponents have in hand. Often times, the emotions of the players somehow reveal whether they have a good or bad set of cards in accordance of the opponents’ actions. Therefore, in order to conceal this, the players do their best to hide their emotions, hence the term ‘poker face.’
First historical write-up about poker was back in 1829 when Joseph Cromwell had an article about the game. According to his article, the European immigrants brought the game in the United States. According to history, Columbus’s men used leaves and drew images on it, to used as playing cards. Therefore, the skill of poker face must have been performed first, back in Europe.
However according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, poker face was first observed in 1885. The more interesting part of this skill is that the term poker face has stemmed-out to a few other usages and now has its own games. For example, the term ‘to have a poker face’ does not just involve a poker game. The term is now generally known to have an expressionless face. The term has also evolved into a popular game to college students where a female freshman goes under a table with a few people sitting around the table.
The freshman female then gives one of the guys a fellatio and if that guys fails to perform an effective poker face, then he losses. In addition, who would have missed the infamous song Poker Face by Lady Gaga.
Indeed the game of poker has a lot to offer to the world. Not just the thrill of the game itself but also a few interesting skills shared by many, even to those who does not play poker at all
