English Version | Poker Face

A King of clubs, a Queen of spades, a Jack of gold, an Ace of hearts. They say that they hide the best of hands, but the only secret in plain sight is their imposing closet. When we know we have the best cards, what tic denotes the values we have in hand? How good are we at hiding the game? Better than the rumors say. Better than the poker face of our opponent, with the half-closed look that flashes when an Ace dwells between his fingers. Better than the player who climbs the stakes relentlessly in the hope that everyone else will fold. Better than what you want others to think. Better than the rival who counts cards. Or else not, and it could be that this is all a bluff.
