So, bluffing — when you do it is just as important as how you do it, as we saw in last week’s post. However, the strategic time described there is not the only good time to make a good bluff.

You have to remember that the betting session which follows the dealing of the River is extremely vital. Your bet then needs to be confident and powerful, because that will make it more intimidating. The same is true of the bluff at that stage of the game.

So, let’s say that the player before you puts forth a small bet. You can go big, because doing so might push that player out of the game. However, if the player before you makes a big bet, you should then call … and then you go all in. You might just have the opportunity to take down another player’s bluff with one of your own.
