An ideal situation to play the classic bluff occurs, when all other players become cautious in general. The opponents do not quite seem to know exactly where they stand, they may have rather good but not outstanding hands.

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.

The Slowplaying: Speaking of traps. The opposite of a bluff is the slowplaying. You want to make a trap for your opponents by pretending to have a bad hand. This is how it works: you suddenly have an outstanding hand, and you are convinced that you will beat any other player.

But if you bet instantly, your opponents have two options: they fold immediately and give you the pot or they keep playing along with you. If they stay in the game, your bluff indeed didn’t work, but you can still hit your flush.

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.

And mostly they’re bad. Take advantage of this and just perkily raise the bet, no matter what cards you have ” the small blind and the big blind will be reasonable and fold, rather then to raise with average cards, too.
