It\u2019s always easy when you win to think it\u2019s skill and when you run bad to always say its variance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Bluffing is a big part of the game, for newcomers you have to be careful you really have to look at your opponents and see what they\u2019re doing to make it work. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) At low stakes when I was starting out I don\u2019t think I really every bluffed because the players would always call so there\u2019s no point in bluffing. The most important thing about bluffing is to know your opponent and know if he\u2019s going to fold or not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Watch All The Action and Join The Conversation!<\/h3>\n<p>What do you think to his tips?
