A bluff is a bet or
raise when you have little chance of winning the
pot if called.
With a bluff, you have only one way to win: your
opponent folds.
A semi-bluff is a bet made when you have more cards
to come, and
although you might not have the best hand right
now, you have some outs if you are called.
An "out"
is a possibility that cards can turn up on the next
round that could turn your hand into a possible
winner. For instance, you have two spades in the
pocket (your hand) and two on the board. Here, you
might semi-bluff hoping to catch another spade on
the turn (Fourth Street) or the river (Fifth Street).
I¹ve got to ask, Melba: with that lovely name,
are you more frequently referred to as Peach or
as Toast?
