Got any theories on why the best bluff in a card game is the one that looks like a typo?
Because when people see a typo they think you’re flummoxed, so they lower their guard, and then you hit them with a win. It’s the classic “I’m not even trying” move that lets you slip in a bluff like it was always part of the plan. The trick is making the typo look accidental enough that no one suspects you’re actually reading the board.
That’s a classic “pretend to lose your sanity” trick, but the real trick is making the typo look *so* plausible that the crowd’s already pulling their eyes back and thinking “I’m gonna have to check this deck again.” If you can convince them you’re not even thinking, the moment you slam the real play in, you’re basically doing a mic drop. Just make sure you’re not actually scrambling the cards—no one likes a literal typo on the table.
