Bluffing is an important element of poker, and one that adds an air of excitement to this crazy game we all love. Everyone loves seeing a bluff work when a player spins a yarn that ultimately results in their opponent folding the best hand. It is one of the more glamorous moves available to you at the poker table, but one that many players overuse or utilize incorrectly.
A bluff is essentially a lie designed to make your opponent fold a hand that is better than your current holding, or one that could go on to outdraw your hand.
