| Sep 12, 2014 at 9:40 | comment | added | Alraxite | I'm not saying it's bluffing, it's double bluffing. Reverse psychology is, for example, when A wants B to do X but knows that he will most likely disobey him so that he instead tells him to not do X, to which B disobeys and does do X, as A had hoped he would. Double bluffing is when you want others to believe X but you know they will think you're lying (bluffing) so you instead tell them the opposite of X, so that they believe X. As you can see, they are in essence the same. And this word doesn't describe the situation in the question. | |

(2) reverse-psychology has zero connection to bluffing. reverse-psychology is stating a desire "the blue one is awesome!" trying to trick the other in to that desire. (bluffing is pretending you have a better hand than you do) (3) regarding bluffing. bluffing has no connection, at all, to the question at hand. (that "bluffing" answers have votes here is just a great example of the weird voting on this site - !!!) | |

improved formatting, corrected spelling errors, and used less **bold** type. Too much bold is distracting.
