them

Sometimes they rub their tongue against the inside of the cheek

might be some issues.

3) What observations in the poker players' non-verbal communication stand

out to you? Explain your answer.
 

- The scene when player number two and three put their hands on the top of
cards. It’s like caging a card or putting the hands directly at the top of a card
this means that their cards is important and must not be shown really. For
me this stands out the most because we can understand easily the hand
movement of the players.
