How to unlock the The Big Bluff achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

Rockstar released a patch for this on Jan. 6, 2011. So if you downloaded the content and couldn't get the achievement because it was bugged, you can finally get it now.

As for getting the actual achievement, in a multiplayer poker game (you can do this with as little as 2 people), simply bluff a really crappy hand like maybe a 2 and a 4 and go all-in. Usually the other players will fold. If that doesn't work the first time and everyone goes all-in, try it again a few times and you should get it.

If the other player(s) fold and you win the hand, the achievement should still pop regardless of showing your hand, unless of course their hand was worse than yours.

Yups. Just got this tonight. I never reveal my cards and wasn't planning on starting to do so.

do all five cards need to be on the table or can you just go all in from the start?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you can go all-in from the start.

In order to get this, do you need to show your cards afterwards, with 'a'? Or will it unlock regardless?

This one and "In A Van Down By The River" were easy to get with 2 people. "Silvyr"and I did these both by ourselves at McFarlene's Ranch. To do this one you need just a limited understanding of poker. Once you are dealt your cards, get in a party of 2 and tell each other what your cards are. You dont even have to bid, the one with the better hand just folds, it is that easy, it took not even "1" minute. You do not have to have a "full" party. Like i said, i did this with One other person.

Any idea if this is currently glitched? Tried for a couple hours with a friend, and he had tried a day before with another guy and no one could get it to work. Tried folding as stated above, calling/raising until the river, going all in, raising, re-raising, different locations, public and private.....nothing. Stumped.

In the big bluff, there is no glitch, the key here is that the person with the better hand folds when his opponent raises or goes all in. I did this in a public match with one other person. The person that is winning has to be having the winning hand all the way up until the last card is turned over. thats when the loosing player goes all in and the winning player folds.

It's wouldn't unlock for my friend and I either last night. I checked x360a and a couple of other people are having the same issue. The newest title update probably glitched it.

Have tried this every which way with 3 different people (not all at the same time) 1 of whom already had the cheeve. And nothing. Have left a tweet on R* twitter page asking for assistance. But nothing as of yet.

I heard that if you delete the bundle pack and download the liars and cheats pack the achievement will be unlockable.

i did it in a private match but you can do it in both, I know some people are having hard time with it. Sometimes even if you do it correctly it does not unlock. why i couldn't tell you. It might be that the game and all the cookies have to be erased from your xbox then everything redownloaded

This achievement can be earned while in a Private game. The amount of players does not matter. Set up a Poker game, be sure that your partner has the better hand, and have him fold. The achievement should pop up immediately afterward.

Be sure to check the Achievement Trading Thread for boosting partners.
