How do you Spot a Bluff in Poker when playing Online
Bluffing in poker can be a very profitable move when you master it. How do you counter a bluff? First, you must be able to spot it! That is what we will focus on with this post to help you prepare for a move which will force the opponent to be out of hand.
Betting patterns will be one good way to tell that another player is doing a bluff. Since you cannot see your opponent when you play poker online, then you should focus on how they play their hand to see what they are up to.
Continuation Bets
Most of the time, you will notice a player who is bluffing when they make a continuation bet after pushing for a raise on preflop. When they raise pre-flop, this means that they have strong hand, maybe some high cards. If the flop reveals rags and they commit into it, then consider raising or simply calling to check if they have a plan to steal the pot. Most of the time the opponent will have an AQ or AK added to the over cards so they will just opt to fold when you raise.
