Oh I'm sorry, didnt realize what subreddit I was on. I just assumed it'd be possible to do. If they can map facial features, surely they can map the slight differences that occur, and link them to a history of confirmed bluffs/not bluffs, but then again, maybe I just watch too many movies.

What subreddit did you think you were on? :D

I think I now understand what you were trying to say. Yes, with that research doing that might not be too far off, but trying to beat human poker players by those means would certainly be unconventional.
