Avoiding Temptation

The biggest temptation in poker is to call someone else's bluff.

The bigger their bluff, the greater the temptation.

Don't do it.

Let someone else at the table teach them the error of their sinful ways.

Accept that some of the time, you're being HAD and there's nothing you can AFFORD to do about it.

90% of the time, unless you're playing against pros, THEY'RE NOT BLUFFING.

The majority of poker players in the world don't bluff. Bluffing makes many people too uncomfortable.

Point is, you can ALWAYS afford to fold a hand in poker. Always.

What you can't afford is calling a couple of big bluffs that weren't.

Live to play another hand. Always. You can make plenty of dinero on YOUR winning hands and successful bluffs. You dont' need to blow it trying to call someone elses

By learning how to bluff successfully, you are in the top 1/10 of 1% of poker players. You wouldn't be reading this blog if you weren't committed to playing GREAT poker.

So don't keep making the stupid mistake of trying to either A) get rich or B) teach them a lesson by calling other bluffers.

Play your own game.
