Don't play face up!

To avoid playing face up, you have to swing your range. The classic example of a player playing face up is a silent player who folds hand after hand and suddenly raises to 12 big blinds preflop, suddenly looking interested in the game. Playing face up can also be about not being ratted out. If you never bluff on the river when you are all in, your opponents are likely to notice and stop paying you when you push all in in the big pots on the river.
