When playing poker with any degree of skill, perfecting your bluffing technique is paramount. In real life, and real poker, bluffing is not like you see in the movies. You are not just going to pull the wool over the eyes of the other players by putting on a pair of sunglasses or wearing a perpetual scowl.

The first thing you need to do, in fact, is make note of the number of players currently active in the hand. The fewer opponents you have, the better you will be able to bluff successfully. In fact, it is ideal to bluff when only one to two players are involved.

You need to be casually, especially when you are looking at your cards. Try not to show any emotions in your expression, but do not be outlandish about it. Do not show disappointment or anger if you have bad cards; do not so elation or excitement if you have good cards.
