Mastering the Art of Bluffing in Poker

1. When you retain your pre-flop range advantage all the way through the hand either because you haven’t bet yet or due to a very good run-out. 2. You call a bet on an earlier street then villain checks the turn giving you a range advantage.

C-betting the turn (double barreling), delayed c-betting, probing the turn on a very low/connected board, betting the flop where your range is stronger than your opponent’s but not massively so, and triple barreling on the river.

When you are in a favorable situation for your range on the river and have no showdown value.
