Deception in poker. Bluffing is a form of deception in poker. Unless a player has very good hands, he won’t call his bets if he observes that his opponent never bluffs. Bluffing is useful because it will make the opponents fold when they believe that the bluffing player has a dominant hand and the bluffing player wins the pot.
What’s the difference between a pure bluff and a semi-bluff? A pure bluff is when you make a raise or a bet with an inferior hand that has no chance of improving. In here the player can only win if his opponents will fold. A semi-bluff is when you bluff on one round with an inferior hand that might improve in the next round. In here you can win the pot in 2 ways: by all opponents folding or by catching a card to improve the player’s hand.
