Chapter 1: Poker Bluffing
Bluffing plays a major part in the world
of poker. It's the sleight of hand where high art and
drama reside. It's the place where myths and poker legends are made. After all, what's a
western movie without a poker scene with one player trying to bluff another
out of a big pot?
To those who do are not serious poker players, or play the occasional hand, bluffing is where those folks focus most of their attention when they
think about the game.
What is Bluffing, Anyway?
The
majority of
poker players have a similar theory to
bluffing - You bluff when you have pretty weak hand, hoping
to fool the other players into folding and feigning your
strength. After all, you want that pot! Poker wouldn't
really work without bluffing. In the end,without bluffing, poker would be a
pretty straight forward game!. A bet would be taken and the
best hand would win. Always.
The cards figure to break even in the long run; without the possibility that
someone is bluffing, then each player would have the same expectation -
and when all was said and done, no one would win any money.
But some players win most of the time and some players lose most of the
time. Bluffing does play a big part in the world of poker and often seperates
who is winner and who is a loser at the end of a nights
play. Bluffing of course is a form of deception after all,
and fooling your opponent is essential if you are yto become
a succesfull poker player. Games have been won and lost, men
defeated and victorious over deceiving their opponents into
thinking they have a hand of strength. Bluffing keeps your
opponents alert as they will try to read you. They dont know
what type of hand you've got!
