Poker: The Art of Bluffing
9 December 2004
The best way to be successful when playing online casino games is to have a winning strategy. Although some online casino games really mostly on luck (such as roulette or slots for example) three is always some elements of strategy you can learn in order to improve your playing skills. Even with a game such as online slots it is important to understand the paylines and what you must bet in order to qualify for the jackpot. As a starting point it is always a good idea to read the basic rules of the game as well as the house rules when playing at online casinos or land based casinos.

Even the best player can always pick up a tip or two that will help them improve their overall playing strategy. When it comes to games such as blackjack or poker, there are a lot of helpful strategies that are designed to improve your odds of winning. Standard table poker may in fact be one of the most popular casino games of them all. Poker involves a great deal of strategy from understanding the different hand ranks, to the more subtle techniques of knowing when to hold and when to fold and when to bluff. The art of bluffing is a complex strategy that relies on the persons ability to use it only in the right situations, to avoid being predictable and to be able to act or put on a good “poker face”.

The art of bluffing is a really an advanced poker strategy that is more suitable for live games at a land based casino or a private game of poker than when playing at an online casino. This is because the gambling software used at online casinos doesn´t pick up on a bluff. This is the same reason you can´t really bluff when playing video poker. Bluffing is really something that can only be used in poker a limited number of times. The art of bluffing is subtle and a good bluffer will only use it occasionally. If you overuse this technique you will become predictable –and this is exactly what bluffing is for, keeping your playing opponents unaware of your hand.

When you bluff in poker, you must usually accompany it with a “poker face” meaning a face that reveals no indication whatsoever of the cards you may be holding. In some cases though, if you are a fantastic actor and have used the bluff properly you can even try to go one step further by subtly putting on a fake emotion in order to make you opponent think the wrong thing. Other skilled players will purposely lose a bluff on a low wager in order to fool the opponent on a future hand –in other words they will want the opponent to think they are predictable and therefore make the wrong assumption once the trap has been set taking home a nice size pot. The ways in which you can use the poker bluff is endless. Sharpen your skills and strategies when playing online casino games or land based casino games and you may come out a winner
