Bluffing
1. When you bluff, what are you usually trying to do ?
Ans : To knock out another hand that you don’t want to contest your way.
2. When might you bluff trying to win the whole pot no limit holdem?
Ans : When you are playing heads up, if you miss on the end, think your lone opponent might also have missed on the end, and don’t think he will call with a small pair, then you may bluff trying to win the whole pot.
3. Suppose it looks as though you were drawing at a flush, or it is obvious that you had two pair or trips and were jammed in on sixth street by what appears to be a straight and a lock low. On the river, the low bets. What can you do ?
Ans : Bluff with a raise.
4. If the player with the straight calls and the low reraises, what can you do ?
Ans : Raise again, and you might convince the holder of the better high hand that he is beat.
5. When making this play, what should you keep in mind ?
Ans : That you must commit a lot of chips, plus you’ll have to be very cautious of whom you use this play against.
