Choosing the Right Targets to Bluff
Never bluff someone who can
Semi-Bluffs: The Most Powerful Weapon
Semi-bluffs (bluffing with draws) are superior to pure bluffs because you can win two ways: opponent folds or you complete your draw. Flush draws and straight draws on the flop are perfect semi-bluff spots.
Reading If Your Bluff Will Work
Before bluffing, consider: does the board favor your perceived range? Is the opponent in call or fold mode? Are there blockers that help your story? Use behavioral information to time bluffs perfectly.
