The ultimate poker face, we're not bluffing

You probably wouldn't want to leave your children with this man ... but you certainly shouldn't play poker against him.

Dubbed the perfect poker face it is a composite of ten top players who have won the biggest single prize in poker.

The face would be hard to play against because it does not show any emotion, is expressionless and would never give away the cards in front of him.

The experts who put it together say they discovered a number of similarities between top poker players including a Roman nose, jutting chin, cupped-out ears and wide-set eyes.

Naomi Tickle, personologist and author of 'You Can Read a Face Like a Book', said: "Looking at these ten successful players there are many remarkable similarities, suggesting that there may well be a 'poker face' look. 
"Interestingly, many of the traits are ones you would normally see in actors and successful business people - it seems a good poker player mixes commercial nous with theatrical flair."

Poker expert Peter Nolan, of CircusCasino.com added: "If you're lucky enough to be born with some of these desirable facial characteristics it could benefit your poker playing.

"But even if you don't have the perfect poker face, or you're not a great bluffer, you can play online where your face or its expression won't matter."
