Even when people often are hearing many controversial and contradictory comments with respect to bluffing in poker, must people should know that it is a technique widely used around the world, and if it is used cleverly, can be a great advantage for the player, which can lead him to win easily. However, many times the criticism to this technique of the poker game are focuses on those players who use it beyond measure excessively or those who can not master the art of bluffing.
Bluffing is considered by those players who practice it as a technically daring, bold and exciting. Like all art not everyone can use it the right way. Bluff is to convince the other players that we have a better hand to theirs even though this is not true. This way of working and beating players slowly but in more psychological way. With this they will be the ones that ultimately will decide to fold.
Only to give an idea of how to use bluffing you should know that when you want to increase your stake or raise without the best hand, you can do it because what is sought is to convince the other players that you has a better game than they. To take a better advantage of this technique is recommended to play at tables where the number of players are small. The fewer players have a table easier will be to make them believe that you have good hands. Try to bluff only when 3 or less players are left in the game.
One of the greatest curiosities of this technique is that it works best when it's applied against experienced players. I know it sounds a little crazy but to bluff against a weaker player is not a good idea. Often, players play weak hands and maintain a hope of winning until the end. Therefore it may be harder to convince them that we have a good game. By contrast wise players prefer to fold rather than risk too much.
Beware that other players must not see bluff but if that happens it's probably at the next time the player who discovered you will want to call. If this happens we must be smart and use our advantages. If after bluffing you get a good hand you can use this as a decoy so the other players will think that you are trying to bluff again.
