What sets poker apart from other cards? The bluff answers my own question. After all, in poker you do not have to have the best hand to win. Just convince the partners that their game is the strongest. But how to do it convincingly?

bluffing is a form of artistic talent and as far as I know, it's the most beautiful thing in the game. Bluffs are the heart and soul of poker.

"Be sure to run a bluff for fear of going wrong. It is impossible for all your bluffs to work. Apply the right moves at the right time. Conservative players are great victims to bluff themselves. Already the aggressive, not so much. To attack the weakness of the opponents and to demonstrate strength. "There are two keys to a consistent and successful bluff." "One of them is to attack when your opponents are weak. The other is to demonstrate strength convincingly through your bet. " :)

So that's it, and we meet at the tables !!!

First of all,I think you put this topic in a wrong category :) And then I think bluffing is about knowing your opponent is weak,not about your cards :)

Ok Mantones,

I believe that taking advantage of the best opportunities provides better bluffs, primarily against players who are considered weak, and fold even stronger hands. Analyzing the players at the tables leaves the bluff even stronger !!!

Thanks for the comment, GL on the tables for you Mantones !!!

The bluff is indeed one of the most beautiful things with poker, but for a good bluff you need to have a good read on your opponents. And maybe the skill to read the other players is even more beautiful than simply have the courage to shove with nothing...

I agree with you AntonEast,

Analyzing the opponent and thus doing a good reading, defines what will be your next, thus defining most who will be the winner of that and many hands. After all, we depend on this kind of skill, like the great poker players.

Thanks for the comment AntonEast and GL on the tables !!!

Bluffing indeed is remarkable, it is a beautiful thing to be able to take down a big pot with 83 in your hand.

One thing to keep in mind is who you are playing. At the micro level bluffs just don't work. You can't bluff a bad player. They will call you down with bottom/middle pair. When you get to more advance players they have more discipline and are willing to lay down more hands.

If your bluffs are getting called down, this often is one of the problems.

I agree with you karl coakley, so I believe that performing an analysis of the opponents at the table is fundamental to be able to apply the best bluffs, so we can steal as much as possible fixed!

It is true iFishForFlush,
When we see a good opportunity, we apply the bluff regardless of the cards we have in hand and convince the opponent that we have the best hand of the table, it is something magic, without doubt is the art of poker !!!
