bluffing is a very important thing in the poker game, and if you want to win, you also need to spot a bluff quickly.A relaxed opponent is probably not bluffing and may have a strong hand.
On the other hand, if a more social player suddenly becomes quiet, they may be devoting most of their attention to your hand. Chances are they have something good and need to think about how to play it.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]you have to have a certain time at the poker table to study the game of each player, you will easily detect the maniac players etc etc but you have to take the time to study the game of each of them[/COLOR]

You need to play as many hands as possible which will give you better experience and with experience comes better decision making. It's not easy to categorize players right away anyway. Game of chance and probability indeed

I sometimes play in the style of a player who loves to play with a bluff. Many players believe that I am bluffing and against a hand that can not be beaten any more, continue to bet all the way up and then they are very surprised. I mean that you can pretend and it's really difficult to determine when a player is bluffing, and when he has a strong hand.

Hmmm in my opinion you got to watch everyone carefully at the table. Because you would never no a bluffer in just the first hand. So pay attention. Watch attentively.
Only then can you pick out a bluffer.

Identifying bluffers online can be extraordinarily difficult. Obviously you don't have the face-to-face aspect, but even if you try basing it on how fast or slow they play it is a dangerous trap to fall into. What if their delay isn't them trying to figure out how much to bluff, but they're trying to figure out how much you're willing to lose this hand. Or what if their cat jumped on their lap and they got distracted.
My advice would be to stop trying to figure out if someone bluffing in order to re-raise them off the bluff with a weak hand (the way the pros do it in face-to-face games).
That's not to say you should fold against every bet, but I'd more look for the Loose players who play tons of hands. Those players are more profitable in exploiting than trying to exploit bluffers.

In some poker rooms you can use some programs, like holdem manager and so on, this will help you a lot. If you play without it, that,s also not so hard, just watch on the other players game. Sometimes they can be very aggressive and they can bluff really often.

I guess you have to play few hours with a player before you can read his hands.

In an online tourney you need to pass some time to know about your opponents. After some attention an idea can be formed and a game plan can be implemented.

I do not argue! Bluffing is a very important thing in poker. But! People on micro-limits manage to win without bluffing. Absolutely!

For some time, you need to closely monitor the players at your table, see who plays which cards, and I think this will give you at least a good advantage in the future decision whether he is bluffing or not.

To recognize a bluff is very difficult! Of course, if opponent bets all in 10 times in a row! If the opponent who places big bets, there are no notes, I'm not going to risk it! Even if he is bluffing it is likely that the river will come, he needs a map! No risk of not having a full house in my hands I will not!:aetsch:

it all depends on the opponent, if the player often calls quickly, most likely he has a good hand. Also often plays a role his position, if in the early position came with a raise, then clearly he has a strong hand.

There are different situations in poker. If you will be carefully playing, you can study the game of each player.

When a player is betting in a strange manner or changes gears suddenly. A lie or a fib may be coming your way. Sharks are professional liars so be careful where you swim!
