bluffing
Automatic Bluff
An automatic bluff is a bet made regardless of your cards in a spot where betting usually wins.
Bluff
A bluff is a bet or raise made with a hand you expect to be weaker, to make better hands fold.
Bluff Catcher
A bluff catcher is a hand that can win only if the opponent is bluffing.
Catch Bluffing
To catch someone bluffing is to call or raise because you believe they are bluffing.
Double Bluff
A double bluff is bluffing, being called, and then bluffing again on a later street.
Represent
To represent is to play as if you hold a specific hand, whether you actually have it or not. For example, a large bet on an ace-high board represents an ace.
Semi‑Bluff
A semi-bluff is a bet or raise made with a hand that is not the best now but has a good chance to improve, such as a flush draw. It can win in two ways: the opponent folds, or the draw comes in.
Snow Job
A snow job is a successful bluff. The player has made opponents believe that he has a strong hand and wins the pot.
Strategic Bluff
A strategic bluff is a bluff made with a longer-term goal. For example, a player bluffs to give the impression that he is loose.
Super‑Bluff
A super-bluff is a bluff made against a player who has a very good hand, and that wins the hand. It is bluffing a strong player and making him fold.
