I raise early on a hand that is weak, then raise again when I've decided to fold. This way the person with the strongest hand will match my raises, it will also force others to increase the pot. This has the double effect of hurrying the game along, eliminating the weaker players quicker. But it has a downside, the strong player might bully you with the easy money you helped him get and make the game harder on you.

If I have a good hand, I will just call and let the game drag on. During crucial moments, I would suddenly raise to catch everybody by surprise. Usually, they would fold but there is also somebody who would call. When I win, the pot is usually big.

How do they fall for it? So if you giggle that gives the impression that you are bluffing or visa versa?

I try raising the blind before the flop if I have a good pocket hand. Like 3 times the big blind. With Aces, you don't even need to think. :D This makes the pot a lot bigger, so if you win, you win big. But if you don't get anything on the flop you don't loose [i]that[/i] much either.

What are some tricks that worked in your favor during a poker game?

I usually raise the bid at least once in one hand and I will giggle when I do. They always fall for it every time!
