Poker and bluffing. In most folk's minds, they are one and the same. Probably, a throwback to the old Westeners where calling a big bet could mean having to wager the farm, all your possessions, and your wife and kids, too.
Now a days, table stakes prevents that scale of a bluff. But, in no-limit poker the big bet, which could be a bluff, can still make you wet your pants.
The poker pros will disavow and deny both the frequency and the importance of bluffing in poker. The trouble is though, how can you believe a known bluffer?
Well, I never bluff, so you can believe this: bluffing is essential to winning poker, but only when used selectively and in moderation.
Enter then, Matt Lessinger with his book, The Book of Bluffs: How to Bluff and Win at Poker. This is one fine book that helps to bring perspective to the art and science of bluffing. Lessinger covers practically every possible instance for executing, and for spotting a bluff. He even presents some historically famous examples. Plus, there is a chapter about on-line bluffing.
Lessinger's book will help any player to better understand and utilize this important aspect of poker.
