A bluff is when someone tries to pretend that they have a good hand of cards. If someone calls your bluff, they think you're bluffing and challenge you to either give up or put money into the pot. This idiom can also be used for any circumstance where someone is pretending to be better off than they really are, and someone else tells them to "put up or shut up."
