Bluffing in poker

Bluffing in poker is something that a lot of young aspiring poker players think you need to do it but could never explain the principles behind it. Sure it’s trying to bet as if you have the best hand and trying to push a player into laying down a better hand. There is a lot of tough psychology behind the game and it will take more than luck and being stupid brave.

For example what are the odds that your opponent will lay down their hand given your bet size. Also have you made any attempts to determine what their hands might be? Do they know the game of poker very well and how about knowing how much to bet to get them to lay down their hand. Are you covering up your bluffs well?

These are the little questions and details that make a huge EV difference for many players. If you think you know the game then put your money where your mouth is and start playing online. If you’re good then you’ll win but you’re probably not and will most likely lose your money on average.

Good luck at the tables
