As a long time poker player, i can tell you that she's almost certainly making a lot of things up. If you don't believe me, i don't have the time to convince you, sry.
Meta: This is a quality of Poker players, that made me recognize I don't have the mental fortitude or stamina to participate in the game, with anything approaching a description of fun.
I suffer from depression/anxiety disorders (treated), and the discipline required to "read the table" is too much for my idiot trog brain to deal with that level of theatrics.
I get so lost in trying to read the table, that I lose track of the cards in my hand, sorta thing, and fail to see the forest through the trees.
The human brain is such a strange organ.
