A semi bluff is a bet or raise made with a hand that isn’t strong now, but could improve to the best hand later—like a draw to a straight or a flush. It’s a mix of bluffing and betting with real potential.
The idea is simple: you’re not ahead yet, but you have outs (cards that can improve your hand), so you bet to try and win the pot now, or give yourself a backup plan if you get called and hit your draw later.
Semi bluffs are most effective when used in position and against opponents who can fold. They’re a smart, layered way to stay aggressive without relying only on made hands.
