Bluffing Strategy For Texas Holdem

Texas Hold strategy can be learned easily, but you do need the experience. You see, it takes much more than knowledge of the rules and good Texas Holdem strategy to consistently walk away from the table a winner. You need to master all facets of the game to be a constant winner.

You need to be skilled at reading your opponents. You need to read their strategy, their faces, and their body language. You also need to know how to manage your bankroll, when to raise and how much you can afford to risk on your hand. You also need to be able to read the cards and predict your opponent's hand.

With all the above-mentioned skills, you still need to be able to successfully bluff your opponent. This is very important when you need to drive out other players because you have a weak hand, and you do not want them to hang around and catch some cards. If you can master this skill, you will become a very successful Texas Holdem player and regularly walk away a winner. Here are some rules I use when bluffing at my Texas Holdem table;

1) I need to know who my opponents are. If they are good or expert players, I should limit my bluffing because they usually can read a bluff. If they are inexperienced players, they may just keep calling. 2) If I can bluff on specific hands such as a flush or straight, I have a better chance at succeeding. 3) If I can make myself appear aggressive (but not stupid), I will have a greater chance at succeeding. 4) When all the players have checked on the previous betting round, I think this is a good time to bluff. If I should be re-raised, I would fold my bluff. 5) I rarely bluff a hopeless hand. I save this for the times I am against one or two opponents, and then only when I feel my opponent is playing extremely conservative. I can usually push an opponent hard in this situation. This works real well, even if I get to know if my opponent calls me and I have a strong hand.

I have only mentioned some of the strategies needed to be a winning Texas Holdem player. I would encourage you to find more resources and try to master your strategy. You need a complete strategy, just as your favorite sports team does. They could not win without a complete game plan, and neither can you.

Good Luck!
