When I play poker, I imagine to myself, I just ate a very sour lemon.  

My opponents are trying to guess what I am thinking, but they are confused by my twisted face.  

They think I have bad cards in my hands.  However, it is not!  I have winning combinations of cards and my expression is just a bluff!  This trick was taught to me by my personal acting teacher.  

At the same time, when I have bad cards in my hands, then I act differently.  I imagine myself eating a meringue cake.  I have a blissful and slightly silly expression on my face.  

My opponents think that I have great cards and lose.

An interesting strategy. As long as you don't go overboard, it can work.
Now you can not abuse this strategy, otherwise it can become a standard, and easily perceived by opponents.

really cool indeed!
but there's that, sometimes its hard to emulate chaotic behavior in a controlled way, so we can become predictable again even by trying to be unpredictable.

another exercise that helps me is imagining I'm out of my body, like a camera, looking at the situation, and how I'm behaving there.
