"Aside from the tells that involve either the chips or the cards, what I found out was that the same body language that I had seen in conducting espionage and terrorism interviews, I also saw at the poker table. I saw the same confidence displays when people were being truthful. I saw the same behaviors that I saw from spies when they were hiding something and were reluctant to reveal something. It sort of validated that we have one human brain and it dominates all of our behaviors and that the same behaviors are the same throughout the day."
