    That girl is good! It's not as hard as you might think - because many poker players don't expect a woman to be able to bluff....especially not a pretty woman.

    The real bluff is to always act like you have good cards. Act excited on each hand like you're about to win the lottery. Always smile from ear to ear & keep peeking at your cards like, WOW, this is really happening!

      No kidding. The whole time I was watching I couldn't figure out if she was really bluffing or just didn't know what she was doing.

      But as one of the comments to the video said: She got visibly rattled when he showed the four and she suddenly got quiet. Any decent poker player should have seen the big red flags that she was bluffing with a busted hand.

      He should have called her bluff and that is not hindsight or because we could see both hands. Her reaction to his banter and the way she suddenly got very nervous and quiet should have been an obvious tell to a pro.

      He was distracted by her looks, or her smile or something because his "poker radar" was completely on the fritz for that hand.

        Same here. I don't play poker, but it looked like an incredibly risky move on her part. Not brilliant, risky.....regardless of what she looks like.

    His problem was the 8 high...and you're right - he let her rattle him. He was counting on her folding and, when she didn't, he got flustered.

    In his mind, she also had a 4....and something bigger than an 8...

      Yeah it was pretty funny listening to him talk himself out of a call by speculating aloud on hands she might have that could beat him.

      I think he convinced himself that she had a full house. His reaction to her "Ace high" was pretty funny. He will not forgive himself that hand any time soon.

    Bluffing is by definition "high risk" - you got nuthin'.

    I think he convinced himself that she had a full house
    I doubt he would have made those comments had she not been a pretty woman. His failure was he could not believe she was smart enough/good enough to carry out a bluff. Once he made that leap - he convinced himself she HAD to have a better hand.

    A bluff in poker doesn't win - it leads the other guy to lose.

      I believe it. The guys just couldn't get enough of her. I could smell the testosterone through the video.
