Open deception (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bluff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'open' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'deception' is the second definition.
(bluff is a kind of deception)

(Other definitions for bluff that I've seen before include "Challengers may call it" , "Hoodwink" , "Deceive by concealing weakness" , "Honest" , "Try to fool in poker game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
