Bluffing
and Position
Your position can also affect the chances of a bluff’s
success. In most games with tough players, You've found
it easier to bluff if you are first than if you are second
and your opponent has checked. There are two reasons for
this. If your opponent has checked to you, he knows he has
shown weakness with his check, and when you bet, he suspects
you are trying to take advantage of his weakness. So he's
likely to call with any kind of hand. And, if he has a really
bad hand, he might very well have tried to bluff himself.
Since he checked instead, the chances are good he has a
calling hand, and when you bet out on a bluff, he's likely
to call, even if he thinks he's a small underdog. So in
situations on the end where your hand can't win by checking
but where you have reason to believe your opponent may be
weak, a bluff in first position is more likely to succeed
than a bluff in second position.
