As an actor, I have the advantage of being able to spot someone at the poker table who is so eager to impress with their acting skills that even Robert De Niro might have to start looking for a new job.

In all walks of life, whether it be a barrister, policeman, footballer, even the Queen, we see people acting out their chosen profession on a stage.

It’s no different at a poker table. You’ve probably noticed it yourself – an opponent has the nuts and he’s putting on the performance of his life to convince you he has a bad hand.
