Let's start with impudent pretending to have a strong hand. The target: all opponents believe this lie and get off quite naturally.
The impudent player here reaches for the pot by playing high stakes, regardless of the cards. The cards in bluffing are always trivial anyway, it is all about scaring off other players. Put yourself in the position of your opponents.
But if you now start betting wildly, you could scare all other players off and you may win a puny pot only. Be bold and pretend weakness. Mock that you have a reasonably good or mediocre hand. Play in such a way to make your opponents believe that you are still waiting for a better hand.
For instance, you lack a heart to have a flush. If you get the desired heart finally, and only now start to bet, your opponents might be taken aback and realize what strong hand you actually have. The pot would turn out rather small.
And if you hit it, the pot has become significantly larger. The Continuation Bet: Another alternative of the bluff is the continuation bet. You have received a strong hand before the flop. For example, ace and king.
You are in a late betting position, ideally right at the dealer button. If all other players have already folded, you only have the small blind and the big blind in front of you. No player likes to pay blinds, since they must be paid in advance of the mandatory bet, and only afterwards the players can see their cards.
Bets are done before and after the exchange. The best poker hand wins the pot, which now can be a full house, two couples, or any other typical card combination that are the same in every poker version. Or it might even occur that a player doesn't have to show his hand at all, if he forces to fold all other players with high stakes.
The Semi-Bluff: A relative of the bluff is the semi-bluff. If you are in a situation where you have a realistic chance of getting something very strong, you can speculate a bit.
