Inducing a Bluff

How do you get a player to bluff? Inducing a bluff from a poker opponent is essential to making more money playing poker. There is no better way to learn how to play poker than from a poker professional. Layne Flack has won five WSOP bracelets and offers his advice in poker lesson 54, Inducing a Bluff.
"Beginners come to poker thinking that the bluff has one simple purpose: To
take pots when you don't have a hand that can win at showdown. In
No-Limit Hold 'em, however, the bluff can be used in many different ways. As
a recent tip by Huck Seed pointed out, a good player can use the threat of a
bluff to force an opponent into making a very bad call."
For this tip, I thought I'd show another way you can use the bluff to your
advantage. Using this technique, you'll neither be bluffing nor threatening to
bluff, but rather, you'll be convincing an opponent to bluff in a situation where
you almost certainly have the best hand.
