In the game of poker, it was said that body language can reveal hidden cards. Having the ability to read the faces of your opponents is a great skill that gives you the upper hand at the poker table. How do you read your opponent's body language? Paying attention to eye contact, posture, facial expressions and breathing patterns are ways to get a clue of the cards your opponent is holding or get a grip on your opponent's move.
 
Wearing a hoodie, and glasses can help hide your body language if you struggle hiding your poker face, or have tells/information opposing players might be able get a read.

It can lead to them winning a hand, or exploiting weaknesses in your body language.

There's always that slight twitch of the muscle over the orbital bone that can mean several things. Once you know what it means to them, play your cards right.
 
I don't know, I don't usually have the luxury to observe an opponent body language. I'm mostly focused on the tables.
 
I'm not very good at reading body language. I usually pay more attention to betting patterns and how someone has been playing throughout the session. Those tend to give me more reliable information than trying to interpret physical tells.

I pay attention to body language, but I wouldn't say it's one of my strengths. I've seen players give off confident signals with weak hands and nervous signals with strong ones. Because of that, I usually rely more on their actions than their expressions.
 
The ability to read opponents body language is very important if you are playing live games, whether at the casino or at home games. But sadly, I am not very good at it.
