The bluff call is usually very sophisticated, but it is highly effective. The bluff call strategy usually involves playing on your opponents psychology. As a player you play on what you think he thinks you have. It requires high levels of skill and critical thinking.

The bluff call normally begins by calling a pre-flop raiser that has 8s 4s. You can easily get away with such a combination of lose call because you know exactly how to execute them. The flop will come Kh 9c 9s. After this, your opponent will make a relatively bigger bet. If he does this, flat call. It is advisable that you flat call because you have neither a hand nor a draw.

If the turn is 3c and your opponent subsequently makes a pot sized bet, you will have to raise all-in. Your opponent may thereafter go into the tank after which he will toss in the AA that he is in possession of, with its facing up. This gives you the chance to rake in the pot.

If you are a player, and you have in your possession 8s 9d on the flop, then your pre-flop raiser subsequently bets, the question will be what will you do in such a situation. Will you subsequently re-raise? May be not. In such a scenario, you might be said to have a monster and your opponent who is unaware of what is going on might lead himself into you. Several poker players normally decide to trap at this juncture, and thereafter let the raiser to hang himself instead of taking the most prudent procedure of informing him of your hand strength and letting get his way out of it.

If a 3c comes up and your opponent thereafter decides to bet what will your predicament be like? In addition to such a situation, lets say there is a flush draw out and your opponent is almost committing a pot. This will be the most appropriate time that you should move and take it down. In as long as your opponent follows this reasoning process and he is not sitting down with a KK or A9 you will be able to win the pot.
