Bluffstrategies
The most common bluff in Texas hold 'em is to pretend to have a strong hand even if you don´t.In order not to be revealed you have to look the same as when betting with a top hand.
If someone raises before the flop but not hit he may increase again to get others to fold.
However, it is dangerous to bluff too often, because opponents can call the bluff and even if they believe that the bluff have an ok hand it will of course come times when someone else has a top hand and then it will be expensive for the one who is bluffing.
The opposite of bluffing a good hand is called slow-play, to play a good hand as if it was weaker than it is.
It can be good when you think you will win but want to get more money into the pot.
