Insightful comment, Suicyco. It seems to me that a good grasp of such interpersonal dynamics will ultimately distinguish big winners from the mediocre in this business.
Anyway, it just occurred to me that movies might be a great way to learn about the art of deception. Any suggestions for films featuring exemplary "acts?" (They don't have to be about gambling)

Henry Gondorf; one slick dude. Really, is there anyone better than Paul Newman?

If at all possible, I HIGHLY recommend taking part in acting classes, especially if they involve the wonderful art of improv.

I enjoyed watching "Shade" which is poker con starring Silvester Stalone. It makes a few factual errors concerning the game but is entertaining none the less.
