Bluff Or Not

Hope someone can help this "Old Poker Player". Have a problem when on line to figure out if someone is bluffing or not. If I have a good hand I'll stay and call their raise or bump it up,next time they go all in. If I think it's the better hand I might stay if I do stay another(usually 3 of us) they'll go all in if higher than me (in money rank). If I back out it's a big bluff and they show. Think I'm playing to tight. Any answers or does any one have this problem. I know poker is a big gamble but I take it seriously. Don't have this problem when playing face to face. Thanks

Know when to fold 'em. And many times you fold the winning hand. Its over..go onto the next hand.

I would say 9 time out of 10 - most people play their cards honestly. And once you know someone is bluffing and they actually show you - they are more than likely trying to tell you to call them next time -- when they have a huge hand. Its a trap. So play YOUR game, don't adjust it to someone elses.

Just pay attention to the board and your opponents tendencies. If you are in a game against maniacs just wait till you know you have em they will pay off your big hands if you are just patient. The old rule when in doubt is a pretty good one.

You guys are so right! Thanks! Give them enough rope and they'll hang their self sooner or later! Think a lot is I don't bluff like some do. Going to have to learn to play like they do and grin or bare it what ever the out come is.
