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.
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.
And if your opponents bet, you first play along with them and strike a bit later. The other players will be confused what's going on and may even call your bet. That way you can assure a much bigger pot than if you had shown strength right from the beginning.
But if you bet instantly, your opponents have two options: they fold immediately and give you the pot or they keep playing along with you. If they stay in the game, your bluff indeed didn't work, but you can still hit your flush.
First you have rightly shown strength, and then you keep pretending strength. For the other players this doesn't look like a bluff. They rather suspect that you're still in the running and might be afraid of your hand.
The Blind Stealing: Stealing " a crime in real life, a good poker move once in a while. A classic move is called like this: blind stealing. This move is played once in the first round, before the flop.
Bets are done before and after the exchange. The best poker hand wins the pot, which now can be a full house, two couples, or any other typical card combination that are the same in every poker version. Or it might even occur that a player doesn't have to show his hand at all, if he forces to fold all other players with high stakes.
In Texas Holdem it is also the player with the best hand who wins the pot and this player can force all opponents to fold with high stakes " if they believe they don't stand a chance. But Texas Holdem differs mainly in the rules and the course of the game from the old poker versions.
