Bluff....lost cause

Ever bluffed in live poker with friends or collegues....ever bluff online? Well i can tell you that online bluffing is a lost cause. Is it because there are just too many bad poker players or are they just programmed to call anything? I can stare down a player at a table and get them to fold but to bluff online is almost suicidal. It gets old when u must have the nuts to win oline almost everytime.

thats why u have to see how others players on ur table play - and if bad players call its doesnt matter they gonna lose - u just have to be patien at the beggining, only play goods hands - and the end of the tourney, just the good players gonna live, and when u have the chance to bluff, u gonna get it

I almost never out right bluff. A semi bluff on the other hand I have found out how to make work for me. In the past month or so my play has improved 100% by learning how to semi bluff.

I bluff all the time, and it works all the time. So call me in all freerolls.

hehe I rarely bluff I value my money to much which is sometimes a bad thing the amount of times ive folded because the raise was too high and then the last card comes and would have made me win, its soo frustrating

the only time i can seem to get in a good bluff is the late stages of the game--close to the money line and usually only against the middle to low stacks--but you are right you will get called more in online play-so you have to be prepared chip wise to take the hit

Are you serious? I wrote something on this very subject before. If you try and bluff all the time you will get caught at some point. You have to pick your spots, know when you can bluff and actually get away with it. Know your opponents and well also know when it is just not a good idea. The way I play I don't usually bluff, but that doesn't mean I won't pull one out now and again. You aren't a complete player if you don't bluff now and again.

i agree you can bluff and they will call you with a pair of fours and you lose all your money.
