* This experiment is designed to test whether you can spot the difference between a fake smile and a real one
* It has 20 questions and should take you 10 minutes
* It is based on research by Professor Paul Ekman, a psychologist at the University of California
* you can only play each smile once


BTW, I stole this from someone's blog, lost the link to credit! Oh well...

I got 15 out of 20 correct

That was an interesting experiment and the explanation afterwards were informative. Some were easy to spot. I actually would of had 17 correct if I went with my first choice on two of them.

Now if they just do an experiment to tell when people are bluffing by their facial expressions so I can use that in live poker. Some bluffs are easier to read than others.

i tried to guess by looking at the eyes and it usually worked.
it wasn't until i got to about number four that i realised i had to play a video to see the smile mind you and was just going on the pictures up til that point. haha.

it's important that you study every single move another player makes. This is obvious, because without carefully studying their movements (instead of getting "too caught up" in your own hand) you'll NEVER be good at reading their body language. Make sense?

Usually, you can trust your gut instinct. The problem most players have is knowing what their GUT is REALLY SAYING.
