Hi visavis, You cannot read the poker face explains it very well. If you bring someone news, either good or bad, and you cannot tell by their expression his/her feelings about about the matter, we might say that they wore a pokerface. Blessings.

This word comes from the game poker since players in this game tries not to show any facial expressions. In playing poker it is important not to let or hint your opponents if your card is good or not. Putting a blank expression in your face can fake other players.

LOL well um..if you would like to know what Lady Gaga meant by the lyrics you can't read my poker face. here's what she said in a TV interview is that she means that her boyfriend cant read her poker face because she dosent want him to know that she likes girls. Like shes good at bluffing her boyfriend so he doesn't find out about her bisexuality, well that was my interpretation of what she meant in the TV interview I could have misinterpreted but I really dont think I did. One last thing in the card game of poker, a poker face is a term used for those who are good at bluffing there hand. she says in the song he cant read my poker face.

If I remember correctly, poker face refers to the blank face most real poker players use so that the other players cannot figure out if they have a good or bad hand. In other words, it means to have a blank face- no expression, no way for anyone to tell what's really on your mind. Have a good day

it is like masking your emotion but looking like a blank sheet of paper. Nothing is there right? so as with a poker face, nothing. You will never guess what he or she is thinking on that particular moment. I think it is hard do do a poker face, it will require great effort on not to convey what is on your mind.
