I would like to crack a joke about how Lady Gaga needs to re-do her song now, but I'm not sure if anyone else on Hubski would appreciate it! What do you mean, "what you've been saying for ages" - that faces aren't a good tell, and/or that bodies are (or are better)?

The thing is, everyone focuses on the face. People have all kinds of tells and unless you've spent a lot of time learning how to mislead people with your body language and facial expressions, there's going to be a sign. I've just always looked at the hands because they're so visible at the table, not to mention that a lot of people carry more tension in their hands than it might seem.
