Watch for "false" facial expressions.
Give them an out."

Also. . watch for this:
When you question someone if they are trying to recall something (i.e. they are remembering a truth)
they will look to their right or your left.
Try to remember what you ate for dinner yesterday. Your eyes should go up and slightly to your right.
If the person is lying or trying to make something up he will most often look to his left or your right.
Keep that in mind. Great post.

What is the truth is the lie or even worse, what if the lie is the truth ?
Will this help me with poker? I'll give it a shot.
Great theory, but,if you don't lie,you don't have to remember.
If you do lie expect to be found out.
I've heard it said that many people lie because they don't have any truths that they want to share.
I think I'll try jj's thought. Poker...& hope the other players have heard the theory.

Hi, I have to be honest I do lie at times, even though most of the time I tell the truth.
