The opportunist in liar’s poker is the player who takes the most advantageous card, regardless of the other players’ hands. This player is usually the first to bluff, and can often take control of the game.
The opportunist is not always successful, but their strategy is effective in winning more often than not.
The opportunist’s advantage comes from knowing which cards other players are likely to hold. If a player has a relatively weak hand, but knows that their opponent is likely holding a strong card, they are likely to bluff.
By bluffing, they can force their opponent to fold, and win the pot without having to risk any of their own money.
The opportunist’s biggest disadvantage is that they are often forced to bluff too early. If their opponent is able to read them well, they can avoid making a move until they have a stronger hand.
By playing cautiously, the opportunist can still win more pots than they lose, but it takes more effort and concentration.
