Have you ever wondered how the best poker players in the world successfully bluff on a regular basis? Many amateurs make the mistake of mindlessly attempting sporadic bluffs because they do not fully understand when and why to bluff. In this book, world-class poker professional Jonathan Little (with over $6,300,000 in live tournament cashes) will explain when and why to bluff in order to maximize your chances of success. “Bluffs” demonstrates how to widen your ranges and force your opponents to make costly errors.

Numerous examples, featuring the play of an amateur player who got out of his comfort zone to put these tactics to the test, make it clear when you should play aggressively and the thoughts you should consider as you do so. Each situation is explained with attention to your hole cards, stack size, position, and your perception of your opponent.
