How the ens do you succesfully bluff at poker ?
Sometimes it seems that easy. Although it helps to use a math approach to bluffing. If only two of you are in the pot then mathematically, it is less likely that someone has a hand to call a bet with. If four of you are in a pot then mathematically it is highly likely someone has a hand to call your bet with. Also since people tend to play high cards such as 10, J, Q, K, A, if only one or two other people are in the pot with you and the flop comes all low cards, sometimes a big bluff can win the pot right there. Another thing is that when you see all kinds of potential flush or straight draws on the board you may want to refrain from bluffing because you will typically get called by someone who is chasing. Also take a mental note of which players seem easier to bluff and which ones won't throw their hand away for anything. And then never risk more on a bluff than you have to. Some players will fold their hand in the face of a large bluff and some will fold even to the smallest bet. Be aware of what bluffing will do to your image. If you are bluffing a lot now, expect your future bluffs to get called more and be less successful since people will be on to you. However, also expect to win some very big pots when you pick up some good hands because people know you might be bluffing. If you bluff a lot, do not slow play your big hands. Continue to make the "routine" play of betting and enjoy owning the table.
