Bluffing Do’s and Don’t

Bluffing in poker is a risky game and not something that you should try regularly. But if you can bluff right you’ll be in with a better chance of winning that hand and taking away the big pot of money. Here are two easy tips to help you with your bluffing skills before get started with your poker game.

Know The Stakes

Despite glamorous depictions in movies, bluffing is a lot less common in poker games than you would imagine. There’s a chance it could go wrong and lose you both money and face with your poker buddies, so it’s important to assess whether it’s worth the risk first. In some cases, the opportunity can seems so winnable, and the other players can appear so easy to bluff, that you may assess that it’s worth the risk.

• Bluff when the stakes are high – this is usually when it’s most worth doing as the pressure is on.

• A good bluffer never gets caught and one where nobody can tell he’s bluffing.

• A good bluffer is one who believes it themselves and can become a great storyteller. The most talented poker players perfect their skills from playing thousands of hands worth of experience. If you build up your experience of playing poker and treat it with discipline and an open mind, you should increase your successful bluffing skills.

Practice Your Poker Face

• You need to develop the ability to look at your cards with no emotion. Your face should be a wall of stone to your opponents and reveal nothing more than a casual interest in the card or in your own hand of cards.

• If you’re not confident in your ability to look at bad cards and keep a casually expression, yet you can always try hiding part of your face for comfy with sunglasses or a hat.
