Bluffing is an essential part of poker, but it should be used sparingly and strategically. A well-timed bluff can win you a big pot, while a poorly executed one can cost you dearly.
The key to successful bluffing is telling a consistent story. Your actions should make sense as if you had a strong hand.
Target the right opponents—tight players are more likely to fold, while loose ones might call you down.
Bluff from late position whenever possible. You’ll have more information and control over the hand.
Finally, don’t bluff just to bluff. Have a plan and a reason for doing it. Over time, experience will help you recognize the best spots.
