A bluff card is a card that is not likely to be used in a given hand, but is used as part of a bluffing strategy. In poker, bluffing is the act of intentionally making a false or misleading statement with the hope of inducing your opponent to call or fold, thereby giving you an advantage in the hand.
A bluff card can be used in any situation where it is advantageous to make a false or misleading statement. .
Some common uses for bluff cards include:
1) When you are behind in chips and don’t have anything else to offer as a potential hand, you might throw in a bluff card (such as an Ace) to try and catch your opponent off guard.
2) When you are leading with a high-quality hand, you might choose to throw in a bluff card (such as a pair of eights) to try and force your opponent into calling instead of folding.
3) When you are playing against someone who is good at reading hands, you might choose to throw in a bluff card (such as an Ace of Spades) to see if they will call instead of fold.
