The Book of Bluffs - How to Bluff at Poker

My good friend Russ has this book. So far - I haven't seen much progress in his bluffs or him sensing my bluffs but the book did get us to discuss what we think various bluffs might mean or how to tell when certain people are bluffing.

Twenty years ago, Mike Caro wrote the book on what to look for in a player's movements, gestures, and facial expressions--their "tells"--to determine if they were bluffing, and it remains one of the bestselling poker books of all time. But what Caro didn't do was teach players how to bluff. Enter Matt Lessinger, a professional poker player and columnist, who in THE BOOK OF BLUFFS shows players how to get their opponents to fold--no matter how strong a hand they've been dealt. Lessinger reveals how, with the correct timing and artistry, bluffing will allow a player to win while holding an inferior hand--the very essence of poker.
