Your face is the first giveaway that could cost you a game of poker. Keeping your emotions and reactions in check regarding hands dealt to you is a key part of poker. Any type of expression sacrifices your power in situations with your opponents. Clear your mind, wiggle your face to loosen the muscles, take a deep breath, and relax. A poker face is a facial expression that does not show any emotion, a facial expression that hides one’s feelings by appearing blank or neutral. The term poker face comes from the card game of poker, which often requires a player to bluff, or make the other players think he is holding different cards than the ones he is actually holding.
1An impassive expression that hides one's true feelings.

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas plays.

First and foremost, it is obvious that lyrically Poker Face is about sex and gambling; or more specifically, sex, with the use of gambling metaphors.
On at least one occasion she claimed that the song was about 'how she catches guys'... that 'the second you let guys know you like them, they run away, so you've gotta keep your poker face.'
However, by far the most interesting interpretation, that Lady Gaga claimed herself in an interview, is that the song is essentially about being bi-curious; she says that 'sometimes, when I was making love to my old boyfriend, I would think about women.' The lyrics 'Bluffin' with my muffin' are metaphorical for 'bluffing' with your vagina. 'I won't tell you that I love you, kiss or hug you'... In these two verses, Gaga is basically saying that she is having sex with men but doesn't feel any emotional attachment for them whatsoever, to the point where she doesn't even feel ashamed to be thinking about women while having sex with a man.
People assume that, purely because of this song, that Lady Gaga is a 'proven bisexual' or some such. While it matters little to me, all this song really proclaims is the act of being bi-curious. I wouldn't freak out too much about it all.2TOP RATED

The 'poker face' analogy being that to her boyfriend she obviously looks like she's straight but she's just got a 'poker face' on and is bluffing so that he doesn't find out that she's curious about women.
I also read that it goes as far as when she's having sex with her boyfriend she's thinking about girls but I don't know if you believe that or not to be honest.3TOP RATED
