Poker, Decision Making & Human
Psychology: 9 The Art of the Tell
Star Trek: Picard - Picard & Data play alittle poker...
Picard :
See. And... raise.
Data’s Ghost :
Hmm.
Picard :
Call.
Data’s Ghost :
I will take two, please.
Picard :
You have A Tell.
Data’s Ghost : (head-tilt)
….That is impossible, sir.
Picard :
Every now and then, you
dilate your left pupil --
ostentatiously, I might add --
in an effort to cheat me
into thinking that
you have A Tell.
But your true Tell is
you don't have one.
When your eyes are neutral,
that's when I know
you're bluffing.
Data’s Ghost :
Mm. Now that you've
told me that, Captain,
I am confused about which
deception to employ — Fifty.
Picard :
Fifty? That's everything I have.
Data’s Ghost :
I can see that, Captain.
Do you wish to call or fold?
Since this is a dream, Picard produces an unneccessarily
large and oversized Tea-urn
and starts to draw out
a steaming hot cup
of Earl Grey, one
each for he & Data —
Picard :
Let's behave like
civilised Men. Milk?
Data’s Ghost :
No, thank you, sir.
Picard :
Sugar?
Data’s Ghost :
No, thank you, sir.
Why are you stalling, Captain?
Picard :
I don't want The Game to end.
( tosses in all of his chips — )
….I'm all in.
….Strange.
I didn't know we were
on course to Mars.
……This isn't right.
