Art of Bluffing; Some online poker players never bluff. Once you have figure out who they are, playing against them is easy. If they bet once all the cards are out, you can safely throw your hand away unless you believe that your hand is superior to theirs. If it is, you should raise, this is the art of bluffing.

Other people are regular bluffers but know nothing about the art of bluffing. When they bet, you have to call as long as you are holding any reasonable hand. Although habitual bluffers will also make real hands every now and then, the fact that they bluff far too often makes your decision easy. By calling, you'll win far more money in the long run than you would save by folding.

Keep them guessing

No easy answer exists concerning players who bluff some, but not all, of the time. Opponents who bluff some of the time are better poker players than those found at eittheir end of the bluffing spectrum. Better players, of course, can keep you guessing about whettheir or not they are bluffing. And when you're forced to guess, you will be wrong some of the time. That's just the way it is.

In most low-limit games, players bluff much too often. After all, when you play fixed-limit poker, all it costs is one additional bet to see someone's hand. And the pots are usually big enough, relative to the size of a bet, to make calling the right decision.

The threat of bluffing

The threat of a bluff is just as important as a bluff itself. A good player — one who bluffs neittheir too often nor too infrequently and understands the art of bluffing — has something else going for him. It's the threat of a bluff. Does he have the goods or is they bluffing? How can you tell? If you can't, how do you know what to do when they bets?

These answers don't come easily, and even top-notch players are not going to have a terrific batting average in most cases. As a result, the threat of a bluff combined with the bluff itself, is designed to help a player win some pots that they would ottheirwise lose and to win more money in pots wtheire they actually has the best hand.

After all, if you have the best hand and come out betting, your opponent won't always know whettheir you're bluffing or not. If a lot of money is in the pot, they'll probably call. That's the less costly error. After all, if they were to throw the winning hand away and relinquish a big pot, that's a much more costly faux pas than calling one additional bet.

Bluffing and the threat of bluffing go hand in hand. A bluff can enable a player to win a pot they figured to lose if the hands were shown down. The threat of a bluff enables a player with a good hand to win more money than they would if their opponent knew they never bluffed.
