The key is to realize and accept this fact, and try to keep it to a minimum. Learn from your mistakes and keep playing.

How to Bluff

Bluffing is one of the Poker betting actions. It is something that is done between players, it is better to know more about your opponent's habits. Bluffing too often leads to meaningless bankroll swings, and leads to the psychological inevitability of losing begetting losing. The Poker player who plays two hands and wins one and loses the other will almost always be on a lower psychological plane than a person who played neither hand. To try and get bets, the Poker players might risk their entire fortune. Opposite, when a player is for example five bets winner, winning another five bets has actually zero effect on anyone. This shows how humans can look at two things of equal value in completely different ways. The psychological effects of bluffing should be put into your mental calculator when deciding whether to bluff or not, because bluffing is risking loss.

So our advice for every player is not to bluff too much. You should make money in both cases: by successfully bluffing and by people calling you because they think you are bluffing. Bluffing unduly, or rashly, or foolishly is turning a good thing into a bad one. Look at bluffing as something you must do, not as something you enjoy doing or particularly want to do. In the Poker are good times and bad times to bluff. Don't bluff in the following cases:

1. Bluff bad players. Bad players don't necessarily know when they are beaten.

2. Don't expect bluffs to work in low limit hold'em.

3. Try to bluff many players. You may fool some of them, but if you don't fool everyone you are in trouble.

Bluff when:

1. Bluff when the board says "someone" might have made a good hand. "Someone" might have a flush. If you bet as if you have the flush, the other players may believe you do.

2. Bluff against good or tight players. If you are in a pot with a player that looks for a reason to fold, give them one.
