Bluffing is a tactic used by players to deceive opponents about their intentions or hand strength. For example, to give the appearance of a weak hand, you might discard lower-value cards if you are hall.satta.kingolding onto high-value cards that you do not plan to meld. A key component of bluffing is timing. By forcing opponents to make snap decisions, a well-timed bluff can cause them to discard valuable cards or change their tactics in ways that work for you. Bluffing should only be employed in limited situations, though, as overusing it can become predictable and backfire if opponents figure it out.
