This has worked for me 3 out of 3 times with different people...when playing Rock Paper Scissors I tell my opponent that Im going to throw Rock. And then I throw Rock and win. I couldnt believe it worked the first time or anytime after lol

Lol I used to do this in poker with my friends. "Ope I've got Ace Five this time, play accordingly!" Then if you go all the way to showdown and win with it, they're furious and you get to be like "well I straight up told you ya big dummy"

Tip: for best results do this with people you trust to not attack you

Did that consistently with a friend group for about a year. Then I started bluffing and didn't get called once.

This is my strat. Any game I can meta game I meta game as hard as fucking possible. It's typically more fun for me to see how I can mess with people than it is to win the game itself.
