Poker Bluffing

Poker Bluffing is an art. Only real fools flat-out bluff. For the most part, on the low buy-in SNG’s, you will have to play everything real tight. Another disadvantage of the low buy-in SNG’s is that most players are beginners and have a tendency to want to see your cards to “keep you honest”. They will call down your bluff. The final disadvantage, when playing with beginners, is that they don’t recognize the play you are putting on them. They don’t know to fold, so they don’t.

• For the most part, on the low buy-in SNG’s, don’t bluff
• With that said, here are some useful tips for bluffing

Poker Bluffing isn’t just taking any old hand and trying to win with it. Some folks do this occasionally, and get away with it, but really, it’s inancial suicide. You will run into players, time and time again, that actually have the hand you are trying to represent. This happens a lot with a full nine or ten-person table.

Bluffing in Poker is a deceptive move, along with its counterpart, slowplaying.

The key to bluffing in poker is to represent possible winning hands. Poker bluffing is done most easily in position. It is also a lot easier to bluff at a short-handed (6 players or less) table. With less hands being dealt, less cards are actually out there.
