I just wondering how I can develop my poker face so that others couldn't read my unintentional body language
Thanks Evan for the tips .yes you did help and for sure I am going to check that bookLike everything else it takes practice. This is one of the benefits of meditation practice, you just sit there being unreactive to anything that surfaces. This helps you with your poker face.
Another way to practice could be to watch funny movies or exciting things on youtube and to practice not reacting to them. Similarly not getting reactive in conversations will help too.
And the best way of course is to just do it over and over again at the table. The key I find is finding something YOU CAN FOCUS ON to keep your mind busy while you wait for your opponent to make their place. This can be focusing on your breathing or just staring at a specific spot on the poker table.
Another approach is the Phil Hellmuth technique of 'conceal don't reveal' where you cover up with a hat, shades, and use your hands to protect yourself. More info can be found on this in the book with Joe Navarro "Read em and Reap".
I find that's an easy option when I'm feeling a little tired or uncomfortable with the limits, and when I'm at a table I'm more comfortable with I practice the first ways I mentioned.
Hope that helps! :angel:
