Catching Poker Bluffers

It’s essential when playing poker game to learn how to bluff and how to tell if someone else is bluffing.

The easiest way to catch bluffers is by looking at their betting patterns over a series of hands. Get as much information as possible, it will help you make your moves in the game and gives you serious advantage when the game becomes heated, but also you’ll need it to catch a person when they are bluffing. The more information on a poker players tendencies you have collected, the more chances you are to know when he is trying to make a bluff or not.

Pay special attention to player reactions to the cards he gets, good or a bad hand - facial expression, body movements and how much is your opponent talking. If he make on a very strong confident face, probably he is trying to bluff you into thinking that he has a strong hand. However, if your opponent becomes passive then probably he is trying to bluff you into thinking that he has a bad hand so that you will stay in.

If a player’s demeanor pulls a complete change from any of the other hands that they have won, you can probably pretty safely say that they are trying to bluff you. Remmember players who adopt fake poker face at the earlier part of the game and then use them to bluff you later on.

Poker Bluffing

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Gil A, asked:


As anyone whose been around poker more than a week, you know bluffing an essential Strategy part of any poker game. It’s something that a lot of people talk about, but few do properly.The art of bluffing is something that takes alot of time and study to master. Here are some typical tips to help you bluff successfully.

Bluff when you are playing against players who have a tendency to fold quickly. If you bluff at early stage of the hand such as the pre-flop or the flop against a tight player who does not fold, you should critically consider not bluffing at this or a later round. Another occasion to Bluff is when \”someone\” might have made a good hand. An example is when the third of a suit hits the board. \”Someone\” might have a flush. If you bet as if you have the flush, the other players may believe you.

Caution from newer players who will regularly call bets regardless of the strength of their hand. That\’s because they are new to the game and they are happy to call down bets with mediocre hands. Therefore you should avoid trying to make bluffs against these players Even though you may present yourself as having a stronger hand, they simply may not care or not even notice.

Another tip is to do it quickly and confidently. Players can’t see your face while you’re doing it, like they could if you really were sitting across the table from them, but they can gauge how long it took you to come up with this maneuver based on how look it took you to execute it.

Last one is not to bluff too often, and try to adopt a pattern others will find difficult to see. players who have seen you bluffing recently, will register it. Try and limit your bluffs as much as possible and only use them in situations where you feel strongly that you will be able to force your opponent to fold. Never feel compelled to bluff because you haven’t done so for some time.

If you call a bluff in poker, do you have to show your cards if your opponent does not?

pokerguy asked:


I see players who are called just tap the table and not show their bluffing hand. You can learn a lot from your opponents bluffing strategies. If they do not show, do I need to show? Is it bad sportsmanship to insist they show their bluff?

Poker hand Decleration @ showdown?

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008
poker bluff
Andrew T asked:


During 1 hand we played I was in the big blind all but the player in seat 4 had folded and he had just flat called, I know this player quite well and if he had had a pair or 2 face cards he would have raised, but he didn’t.
I looked down and seen A 5 off suit, thinking this is not a major hand but a flop worthy hand as everyone else had folded I raised 3 times the big blind to 400, my opponent called.
The flop came J 2 3 all rainbow. I’m thinking ok I’ve got a gut shot but he’s just calling so I will check and try for a free card.
Turn comes 5c I bet 400 my opponent again flat calls so I’m not to sure where I am.
The river comes 2d no flush draw out there but I have missed my gut shot but still got 2 pair not a good 2 pair but i think I got him beat as he always raises if he thinks he is winning.
I put in a pot sized bet he again flat calls.
I turn my cards over and say 2 pair 5’s and 2’s.
He says I thought you were bluffing “THAT BEATS ME I HAVE NOTHING” and throws his card into the middle.
But as he does 1 card flips over and reveals a JACK giving him a higher 2 pair, one of the pre flop folders says “you had a Jack” my opponent replies I thought I had a Q not a J.
And he lent over to collect the pot.
At this point I was a bit annoyed to say the least and argued the fact that if the card hadn’t turned over or one of the folders hadn’t noticed I would have taken down a healthy sized pot.
And thought I had as he declared “I HAVE NOTHING”.

I know this is long winded but can any1 clarify what should have happened here for me?????
