If you want to go far in tournaments, you need to win some hands when you don't have the goods. This means you have to make some bluffs. Read on and you'll see some types of bluffs that are used.

The bluffs you might see can be as ordinary as an attempt to steal the blinds, to very complex schemes. You're behind or have no cards, but you want those chips. You need to get a fold.

When you are the first to act, any raise with a weak hand is an attempt to steal the blinds. When the blinds get big, you will have no chance to win the tournament without stealing some of the blinds. This is the nature of tournament poker.

One of the most powerful plays in poker is the check raise. You are in the big blind and call a raise from the button. You miss the flop completely.

You check your hand and your opponent bets the pot. Now you pause for a moment, and re-raise. This bluff will usually get a fold right here. If he doesn't fold, you will fold to any other betting.

The semi-bluff is a little different. You have KQ of hearts. You call a raise from middle position from the big blind.

The flop comes J74 with two hearts. Your opponent raises the pot, representing a big hand, and discouraging drawing for the flush. This can be a good opportunity to push all in.

You might get a fold. If he calls you have outs, at least nine of them. If he has AJ you will be a mathematical favorite. This is a classic semi-bluff.

The post oak bluff is quite different. You have been calling some moderate raises with a speculative hand. When the last card hits you know your only chance to win is to get a fold.

Now on the river you come out with a small raise. This raise is intended to induce a fold. The small bet is to convince your opponent that you have a huge hand, and have been slow playing it. You need to believe your opponent will think this way.

These are just a very small sample of the bluffs you can try. You need to creatively win chips some of the time. You can't expect to get enough big hand to avoid this need.
