Bluffing
can be a useful strategy consideration when employed correctly. The astute
player will always consider the reasons for
bluffing and make sure that his or her reason for
bluffing in a particular situation are valid.
Some of the reasons for bluffing include, but are not
limited to, wanting to provide deception to
disguise the true value of a particular poker hand,
the desire to force out another player, or simply to
mix up one's play and throw opponents off. |

Betting
Strategies can be varied, but should should be built upon the simple
idea that, by betting, the player can take control of
the hand. By betting, as opposed to checking, the
bettor may force out a particular opponent who is not
prepared to call the bet. This is especially
valuable when the bettor does not hold much of a hand,
either. It is said that 'betting provides equity'
and this is an example of exactly what this statement
means.
