Hello to all CC friends!
Bluffing is part of the essence of poker. Poker is essentially luck and strategy. But if you just wait for luck you won't be able to go very far. There comes the bluff. Most of the time neither you nor your opponents will form a strong hand on the flop. Then Bluff comes in to get them off the table before they form their hands.
But as part of the game's strategy, the bluff should not be used in any way. If you have nothing in your hand and the flop doesn't scare anyone, bluffing is dangerous. Use at your own risk. But if you are drawing to a flush or a sequence, bluffing it is a good option, as you can form a strong hand on the turn or the river. Very low bluffing is not a threat. It is an invitation that you make to the opponent to call or worse raise you. Bluffing too loud makes your opponent wonder if it's not a bluff. If you want a rule, bluff between 33% and 66% of the pot. Remembering that every rule has an exception. Another interesting option is to bluff loudly when a pair flops. This makes your opponents believe that you have Three of a kind. The problem is if someone at the table does. So be naughty. Another issue to consider is your position at the table in that hand. The best position to bluff is when you are the Dealer, as you have had the opportunity to evaluate all other players before making your move. From the Dealer, the position worsens counterclockwise. If you don't know what poker positions are, do some research. Finally, there is another type of bluff: pretending not to have a good hand. With that, you give confidence to the opponent, who bets high when he should fold. Then, on the river you place your bet. If the opponent runs, he will have already left a lot of money on the table. pretend not to have a good hand. With that, you give confidence to the opponent, who bets high when he should fold.
