Winning Methods of Bluffing and Betting in Poker There's an easier way to win at poker than memorizing all the mathematical possibilities of every hand you draw. It's called "playing smart." While most people concentrate on deciding what to do with the hand they've been dealt, "playing smart" means paying more attention to what the other players are doing-the choices they make and their personal reactions. Take control of every hand by using these tactics of intimidation and concealment to master the total situation at the table. Learn the subtle clues leaked by even the most poker-faced opponents, as over time they tip their hand about how they strategize hands, maximize their strengths, and hide their weaknesses. It's easy to perfect these proven bluffing techniques, and start winning more than you ever thought possible. You even get advice on how to apply your newfound bluff-and-bluster to demand a raise or face down a troublemaker.
