  Geordi can see through the cards, and Data is a supercomputer. I guess its just a testament to how Godly of a Poker player Riker is that he could consistently clear that table. Poor Worf never stood a chance.

    You’ll never win at poker if you consider bluffing to be dishonorable.

      I'm too sad to remember things tonight, but I feel like we've seen multiple scenes of Klingons praising... let's call it "tactical bravado".

    Everyone let Riker win because they knew he would be a sore loser.

    She mentions it in a later season and basically says “don’t worry, I don’t read you during our games” which was probably BS, because most Troi episodes revolve around her not being able to “turn off” her powers.

      I think she has to concentrate to know who’s emotions she is receiving. Otherwise she can only tell that someone is bluffing.
