Being Bluffed is OK

Are you still resolved to never being bluffed out of a pot? If you are, then you are not playing the game of poker very well. I know that may sound like it's bass ackwards but it's the truth. I don't care how well you play the game you are going to be bluffed off the best hand from time to time. It is inherently going to happen as it is part of the game.

So many poker players say, "You aren't going to bluff me off of...!" The fact of the matter is that only good players can be bluffed. Why is that? It is because good players use sound logical thinking in their approach to each and every hand and every card that hits the felt. Conversely, the bad player doesn't spend the time studying the game and ultimately gets knocked out easily sans the occassional run of extraordinary luck.

There is nothing wrong with being bluffed. It happens to all of us from time to time. However, how often you get bluffed is significant. It's up to you to play well enough to keep those percentages very low. If you never are bluffed you can rest assured that when you do make the call more than likely you are beat. Play smart and think it through.
