10 best poker bluffing tricks for all the aspiring poker players out there

#9 A strong opponent hand

Warning: Danger incoming

It is always a good idea to not bluff if indications suggest that an opponent has an obviously stronger hand. If the temptation to fool around is still too strong to resist, you can always semi-bluff, which is the practice of bluffing backed up by a decent poker hand.

While an aggressive move, the semi-bluff is still low risk compared to the true bluff and likely to yield more dividends.This bet could be made with the intention of avoiding a showdown and if a showdown did occur, you would still be able to do something about it, which is not the case with a normal bluff.

#10 Play the same trends

If your bets show a consistent trend, it would be a good idea to back them up with a bluff on similar lines. For example, if your pre-flop was raised in a round holding a 6-6 and the flop showed an ace, queen and a 5, this would be the best time to bluff as it would maintain the consistent trend.

One should also be careful while undertaking such bluffs and not bluff too frequently as this will make the other players notice the trend and catch you off-guard.The secret of an effective bluff is to always keep your opponents second-guessing you and themselves and not being sure whether you were bluffing or not during the entire game.
