Deanna Troi played poker even though she can tell when people are lying.

Geordi can see through the cards, and Data is a supercomputer. I guess its just a testament to how Godly of a Poker player Riker is that he could consistently clear that table. Poor Worf never stood a chance.

You’ll never win at poker if you consider bluffing to be dishonorable.

Everyone let Riker win because they knew he would be a sore loser.

THAT THOUGHT GENUINELY NEVER OCCURED TO ME WTF LMAO

She mentions it in a later season and basically says "don't worry, I don't read you during our games" which was probably BS, because most Troi episodes revolve around her not being able to "turn off" her powers.

maybe she means that she just tunes out their emotions somehow

I think she has to concentrate to know who's emotions she is receiving. Otherwise she can only tell that someone is bluffing.
