  Vegas is a long way from Milan, and we don't mean that in geographic terms. Considering the fashion sense of most poker players, if you took away the tables they are playing on along with the well dressed dealers and barely dressed cocktail waitresses, it would be hard to tell the difference between a group from the WSOP and some guys from the local homeless shelter. This fact has not gone unnoticed by British body language expert Judi James. In fact, she has written a book that talks about the subject called "Poker Face: Mastering Body Language to Bluff, Read Tells and Win."



  Ms. James breaks down some of the fashion choices employed by players she has observed, and talks about what sort of play you can expect from these people.



  Those who prefer high fashion, tailored suits that are immaculately accessorized are exactly the sort of pretentious posers most normal people think they are. In Judi's opinion you can expect some "industrial-strength bluffs".



  People who dress like they are the peacocks at the local zoo, are demonstrative attention seekers who are more than a little needy. They can be identified by outfits that include bright colors and high end shoes. If they are women, chances are they will be sporting a pair of six inch stilettos. Our expert has the following to say about them: "Expect them to bluff a lot and take big risks. They prefer to overact bluffing than subdue themselves into a poker face."



  The sort of person that comes to the table wondering if anyone will notice the spaghetti-o's stain on the pajama top they are wearing is generally a tough player to face. According to Judi James, "th biggest problem in facing such opponents is trying to find a pattern in their behavior." Obviously if you can't find a pattern in their behavior, it is more difficult to put that person on a hand.



  This book would make a great Christmas gift for the poker player in your life. In many cases our favorite poker player is ourselves. Is it tacky to give presents to ourselves on Christmas?
