I bet you heard about Lady Gaga and her hit Poker Face, me and hubs already have LSS (last song syndrome) hearing this over and over on the radio being played everyday. I admit this electropop song has a nice tune to it and she has good voice too. Not that I am fond of it but it's fun to hear it once in a while.
So what is really a poker face? Based on what I found when I googled for the meaning it says "A face lacking any interpretable expression, as that of an expert poker player." I don't really know how to play poker so I am lost with the poker face thingie. All I know, it's a card game with betting and the expectation of the game can be based on the players' actions, gestures, expressions... basically psychology. Maybe that explains why there's a need to be poker face so you can't be read directly by your opponents. I still can't understand how the game goes so I need to check out any poker videos, poker tools or even poker odd charts to understand more about it. I've been hearing FIL lately wanting to bring us to casino just for fun, maybe it will be good to know more about the game if ever he'll force us to tag along.
Have you ever been called poker face or played poker game?
Sorry
I never heard of her !!!!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy :-)
I'm not familiar with Lady Gaga's song, but I do play poker once a week, so I know about keeping a poker face. :)
Anya,
So she hasn't reached your shores yet =P
Diane,
You know how to play? Teach me!! hahaha! I was thought once to play bluff but I lost...I tried bluffing then they caught me! hahahaha!
I like some of Lady Gaga's songs but not all of them. Some are quite catchy. They make you sing it the whole day :o)
First time I heard the song, there were parts that I thought sounded like Boney M. I prefer her second hit - Papparazzi...dunno how to spell it! LOL!!!
Ai,
I heard some of her other tunes too, she made it very catchy. That's why I mentioned the last song syndroome! hehehe
Suituapui,
I heard that sone several times but I am more familiar with poker face. I've been hearing it more often, that's why. Lol, nevermind the spelling as long as we understood each other! haha
yea too many times on the radio..haha..i also got bored wit it
A smile from SJ =)
SJ,
So far today it hasn't been played on the radio =P
Her tunes are what I'll hear at the gym. :D
Lina,
Morning!! Does it get you to the groove? =P
Haha..that's true. People with poker face are hard to predict when playing poker.
Willie,
So you play poker?
I don't know how to play, so I don't have poker face, and I have heard of those words before!
Icy,
Could be the song? I don't think I'll be good with this even if I learn how to play. Simple bluff game I was caught red handed bluffing! haha!
A poker face is good in situations where you don't want someone to know what you're thinking or feeling.
interesting info. poker face dont sound that bad afterall lol
Carver,
For me it's hard to conceal things most esp some kind of bluff or lies. Not that I'm very predictable, I'm just too transparent I think! haha
Quachee,
Maybe on certain situations being a poker face can help. Thanks for the visit.
I haven't played and nobody called me ever a "Poker face" ! My husband loves poker but not for real money that's too dangerous and to be a good poker player you have also to be a good actor and never show any feelings on your face !
yeah that was a nice song indeed, po-po-po-po-po-po-po-poker face!! it just got stuck in my mind for quite sometime before i can get rid of it out of my mind.. haha.. but now her new song bad romance is in~~ :D
I just ofund out about her when a news of her was on the paper saying she went to erm... perform for the Queen or something hahaha!
Poker face? i don't even know how to play poker :P.
i just cant hide my expression or a stone wall face. guess i just dont have a poker face :)
Hi Ayie!!
First of all, congrats on you baby BOY oh wow!! I'm so happy u let me know at my blog and I wanna wish u all the best. HUGS! :)
I love poker sweetie! But it's been so long since I last played I too need to brush up on my skills... :)
Hi Ayie! Not spamming Lina's blog today? Haha! Guess what! There's an anonymous commenter on my blog who says I'm retarded for spamming comments and he/she spammed my blog! You can read his comments at my post here.
Oh! I love lady Gaga's songs especially Poker Face! Nice song although I think she's too overhyped : )
Hmmm, it's nice to have a poker face actually. Then people cannot see through you if you are trying to hide something from them! LOL!
Gattina,
That's why I don't think I can be so good with poker sometimes people can read through me. Maybe if I will play that for real then I'll be forced to have poker face =P
SK,
I always laugh when hubs all of a sudden blurts out the song!
LadyV,
She's all over US now and i think it's for her tour that queen performance thing. I also can't play poker =P
Bengbeng,
It's good and bad not being able to hide our expressions sometimes =)
Mariuca,
Hi sweetie! Then a poker tutorial is better from you then! haha!
Thanks so much, hubs is excited too.
Foong,
Was still doing something so a little late today =)
About that anonymous commenter, leave him/her be... everybody's entitles to do as they please most esp if it's being appreciate on the other end. Anyways we only do that to people we are comfortable with, blogger friends I should say.
As for poker face, it can be beneficial to be like this on certain situations.
i had been listening to the song on the radio a lot recently too. but same like you, i don't know how poker goes. but i am kinda lazy trying to understand it the last time i tried. :p the music however, is pretty catchy. :)
I have a "crush" over Lady Gaga!
Levian,
The tune just makes you sing with it along
Dora,
I think lady gaga has a nice face, I've seen some bare photos without all the funny dresses.
