Confusing an opponent is not a tough thing to do in the game of poker. There are countless ways that you can project a false image to an opponent. You can act a certain way early in a session and then change the way you’re playing after you think everyone has a read on how you play. You can employ tactics like making semi-bluffs on drawing hands so it looks like you’re protecting a lead instead of chasing a draw.

To confuse an opponent properly you should have an understanding of how they play and think about the game. Once you know their habits, you can counteract that by making it look like you’re giving them what they think they know about a particular situation, when you’re actually doing something else. And change up the way you play your hands; don’t repeat betting habits that will be noticed by your opponents.
