10 best poker bluffing tricks for all the aspiring poker players out there

#3 Bluff like you own the winning hand, every time!

A bluff is the ultimate cheeky manoeuvre

A bluff must always be called with a winning attitude as one of the main aims of a bluff is to fool the other player into folding his hand in spite of being in a stronger position. A winner’s attitude must be on show every time you call or raise the stakes. This is the only way you are going to unnerve the opposition into folding away their weaker hand, leaving you to walk away with some easy winnings.

A player should also be careful to not waste bluffs on larger pots as the temptation to win more money would often result in them having a lower likelihood of folding their hand. So keep in mind the fact that other players on the table are also humans and just as likely as you to become greedy with ever larger sums of money.

#4 Do not try to bluff the noobs

Bluffing a noob is self-defeating

A fatal mistake often made by amateur poker players is that they try to show off their bluffing prowess in front of those who are so new to the game they wouldn’t recognise a royal flush when they see one. Such players often call or fold regardless of the strength their hand holds and bluffing against such players who do not know the game is pointless, really.

Fueled by optimism, poker noobs will often call bets with vastly weaker hands not knowing what they are getting into and lack the ability to fold in time to avoid damage to themselves and in this case to the person trying to play a bluff. So remember, against the noobs, play it straight, avoid the bluffs and spare yourself the blushes.
