Sometimes, a poker player needs to be a good liar. Hence, a cleverly staged trick in a particular moment can be just the right way to win pots.
The impudent player here reaches for the pot by playing high stakes, regardless of the cards. The cards in bluffing are always trivial anyway, it is all about scaring off other players. Put yourself in the position of your opponents. What would you do, if you are not sure whether you have the best hand and another player passionately throws his chips into the middle?
Let’s start with impudent pretending to have a strong hand. The target: all opponents believe this lie and get off quite naturally. An ideal situation to play the classic bluff occurs, when all other players become cautious in general. The opponents do not quite seem to know exactly where they stand, they may have rather good but not outstanding hands.

Wouldn’t you become uncertain as well? But make sure not to get caught with the bluff and don’t play it too often. From time to time it is a good move, but used too often it looses its effect, and your opponents will only be eager to lure you into the trap.
But if you now start betting wildly, you could scare all other players off and you may win a puny pot only. Be bold and pretend weakness. Mock that you have a reasonably good or mediocre hand. Play in such a way to make your opponents believe that you are still waiting for a better hand.

Speaking of traps. The opposite of a bluff is the slowplaying. You want to make a trap for your opponents by pretending to have a bad hand. This is how it works: you suddenly have an outstanding hand, and you are convinced that you will beat any other player.
