Inducing Bluffs
Comments Off
It’s tough to play against an opponent who’s always trying to bluff you-it’s tough to read an opponent who is always trying to buy a pot. It always seems like the one time you call that poker en ligne player is the one time he’s actually got a hand. It isn’t always fun to play against these guys, but there are times when it can actually work for you. If you know that one of your poker online opponents is prone to bluffing, it can turn out to be profitable if you’ll just wait for the right moment. Say you’ve made it to the river and you’re sitting on a king flush. If you’re in a hand with the guy that you know will bluff against you, you want to induce a bluff. Showing weakness with a check after the river card can tempt your opponent into placing a bet, giving you the chance to raise him up and put him in for as many poker chips as you’d like. Even if the worst happens and your opponent has the Ace flush, inducing a bet will save you some trouble. If you had bet first, he would have raised you and you would have had to call for some more money.
