Poker Tips from
Bodog.com: Keep Them Guessing
A lot more weapons are available in your strategy toolbox once the flop is dealt. Don't waste all
these weapons by making your play mechanical and predictable. Never become so tight or loose that
your opponents can predict what you hold with some degree of accuracy. Have an overall plan with
every play you make to deceive the table. This will also help you remain patient by keeping the
game exciting.
You want to deceive your opponents whenever you can; act weak when you are strong with slow-plays
and check-raises and strong when you are weak with bluffs and semi-bluffs to throw them off track.
Show your hole cards every once in a while when your caught bluffing. Start out playing tight then
change gears to loose play, and vice versa. Make it so your opponents always have a little voice
in their head second-guessing what you hold when they are in a pot against you.
Pre-flop play is just the tip of the iceberg. Post-flop play is where it gets creative and where
winning players truly establish themselves. To become a winning player you need to use all the
plays available to you and mix them up to make the most money you can off your opponents. Be
observant and you'll notice the right situations to make these plays. Never stop thinking about
your opponents and all the information available to you. Remember, the part of the iceberg
concealed beneath the water is usually what sinks the ship, not the part that's visible. Have a
plan so that your opponent only observes the small part of your play you want them to see while
you formulate a master plan to sink them with deception.
