In poker, to the bluff it is to bet or to raise to bet aggressively while they hold a hand that is probable to be inferior, hoping that all the other players fold and they assign the POT to you without one showdown. (occasionally, "the bluff" the hand is used in a immenser sense to refer to represent all that is different from that what the player really has, if that hand is stronger or more weak person. This article discusses the usual sense to represent one more strongly hand while holding deprived of hope.)

In the games with the multiple that bets the round ones, to the bluff on round with an inferior hand that could become a very more best for round case in a successive one often one has called seeds-bluff. As an example, a player in a game of the poker of the captive screw with four staple-satisfied cards that they show (but no between its downcards) on round the penultimate one could raise itself, hoping that others believed that it had a flush even if not.

If its bluff comes to lack and is called, still a staple could be dealt on the final card and to gain it the showdown (or could be dealt an other not-staple and to still try its bluff, in the which case is a bluff pure on the round end rather than seeds-bluff). The bluff it is an important part of the strategy of all the game of the poker, benchè enters more in the game in some games that in others.

As an example, the bluff they are much stronger in the games of no-limit and POT-limit, because your adversary will have defective probabilities of the POT, beyond that the threat greater bets in future that bets the round ones if there are is some. To make the bluff is moreover rare to Omaha, because he is often probable that if you do not have the hand represented, your adversary.
