Lew looked up, poker-faced.

Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
"poker-faced"
Displaying no emotion. But displaying no emotion while understanding emotion. You can't just display no emotion like Data. A poker-face is meant to show the person across the table from you that you're hiding something, like joy at your hand or the pain of existence. But if you're Data, that's just your normal face. I suppose that works to your benefit in poker. Except Data doesn't know how to bluff so you don't have to read his face. If he's betting, he's betting the perfect amount for the risk of the hand he's currently holding. Data sucks at poker.
