Poker Bad Beats
and Bluffing Bluffs are an
important part of
the game of poker
when it comes to
avoiding bad beats – but
please, please… make
your bluffs LOOK
like you have done
the math and are
playing the pot
odds. If betting way
to high you shout to
heaven “BLUFFING” –
and to little – you
still give away free
cards.
- so a bluff also
needs to give bad
pot odds to your
opponent with the
options shown.
Important about
poker bad beats and
bluffing is first to
build a table image
around you, as a
very tight player,
that only plays
premium hands... and
bet HARD when they
hit. You know how it
is... sitting at a
table with someone
that only plays a
few hands - and
every time they end
at showdown - they
show a great hand.
Seeing this for some
time,- and it become
very difficult to
call there bets...
and NOW they can
bluff.
Furthermore - when
they bluff, they do
it in the same style
as playing there
normal strong
hands... AND - they
only bluff when they
have a live hand
with fair outs for
improvement - so
that IF they get
called, they could
still end up with a
great hand.
So in short...:
* You can bluff when
the opponents don't
think you do
* If you bluff -
dont show the cards
and destroy the fine
image you have of
being a tight player
* Bluff when you
have outs to improve
the hand
* If someone reraise
your total bluff -
fold so the hand
wont end up being
shown.... or reraise
big if you think you
can scare him away.
 Some players love to
show a bluff,- in
the hope to put the
opponent on tilt.
This might work -
but at the same time
you have destroyed
your tight image to
all the other
players at the
table... and this
will bite your ass
later.
