Bluffable

/ˈblʌfəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be deceived or tricked, especially in poker or by pretending to have strength you don't actually have.

Etymology

From bluff (to deceive) + -able suffix, meaning 'capable of being bluffed.'

Kelly Says

The term reveals an interesting asymmetry in poker psychology: the best players aren't necessarily those who bluff most, but those who know who is bluffable.
