Blockers

Lesson 14 · Which bluffs to fire and which to skip · 24 practice questions

Blocker basics

Blockers remove combos from villain's range. Holding Ah on a three-heart board means villain has fewer nut flushes.

Bluff with blockers

Best bluffs block villain's calling range (nut combos) and unblock folds. Ah on a flush board is a classic river bluff candidate.

Value & blockers

When value betting, consider whether your blockers reduce villain's calling combos. Blocking top pair can mean fewer thin calls.

Key takeaways

• Blockers shift combo counts — use them to pick bluffs and calls.
• Bluff with cards that block nuts; call when you unblock bluffs.
• Don't bluff when your blockers also block villain's folds.

FAQ

What are blockers in poker?

Blockers are cards in your hand that reduce the combinations of hands your opponent can hold. Holding the ace of a suit, for example, makes the nut flush less likely for them.

How do blockers help you pick bluffs?

The best bluffs block the opponent’s value and calling hands while unblocking their folds — so you fire hands that make it less likely they hold a call.
