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

Bisexuality is the main idea behind this song the song’s lyrics feature various sexual innuendos! It was a tribute by Gaga to her rock and roll boyfriends. During a birthday concert at Palm Springs Convention Center, Gaga talked about the meaning behind this song to an enthusiastic crowd mostly made up of gay men, she suggested that it is about her personal experience with bisexuality and about being with a man but fantasizing about a woman; hence, the man must read her “Poker Face” to understand what is going through her mind. In an interview with the Daily Star, Gaga said: “It’s about a lot of different things. I gamble but I’ve also dated a lot of guys who are really into sex and booze and gambling, so I wanted to write a record my boyfriends would like too.” In another interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Gaga was asked about the meaning of the line “bluffin’ with my muffin”, she explained: “Obviously, it’s my pussy’s poker face! I took that line from another song I wrote but never released, called ‘Blueberry Kisses.’ It was about a girl singing to her boyfriend about how she wants him to go down on her, and I used the lyric. {singing} ‘Blueberry kisses, the muffin man misses them kisses’.” Gaga went on explaining more about ‘Poker face’ to Fashionista101, she explained that the song is about her playing with guys as if she was a poker player. She said: “The song speaks in reference to the poker game, ‘Texas Hold Em.’ So I said, ‘I wanna hold him like they do in Texas, please.’ So its basically saying like, I wanna hold that guy – I wanna be close to him.” Producer RedOne wrote this song with Gaga, In an interview with Billboard Magazine, the Moroccan helmsman said that him and Gaga clicked as soon as they started working together, he said: “It happens so quick, we know each other, we’re good musically. We’re not over thinking. We just do what we feel right. Before you know it the song is pretty much done. I’m not saying that is the way it should be, but in this case that’s what happened, we wrote ‘Just Dance’ in one hour. Done. ‘Poker Face’? One hour. It just happened. Magic.”
