Specialists ensure that it is possible to know whether or not an opponent is "good hand" by analyzing their breathing or the movement of their eyes. Anyone who can detect a bluff has a chance to bluff.

Do you often bluff frequently? If the answer is yes, do you usually succeed in your bluffs?

usually I do not bluff because I play tight but when I bluff most of the time I do not get success.

I have a pretty high success rate with bluffs

I play tight mostly, but I will lag out on nitty tables and punish them

I rarely stone cold bluff though, I like to semi bluff in the right spot

Every good bluff starts with a call

I won't try a bluff until I have seen enough hands from the player I will attempt the bluff on, I need some kind of an idea of his range.

That means I'm usually playing tight for awhile once I start my session, that in turn makes it easier to pull the bluff off

I bluff anytime the situation feels right and I think it will work, you never hear me say " dam I knew I should have bluffed" if I feel I can bluff I do.

The thing is to pick the right time to bluff. The pot has to be worth it. Position is key. Know your enemy.

I bluff often so I have a high success rate but a lot are small insignificant pots. On bluffs in meaningful pots I have almost a 50% success but it does work out in getting paid off in pots when I have a value b/c players perceive me to be bluffing all the time.

It's difficult to detect bluff. But sometimes buffer raise all in without seeing river.

Bluff depends on the place where I play poker. If this is a game with real people (not on the Internet) then very much depends on the behavior of people (smiles, gestures, rapid breathing). And I try to keep myself as strictly as possible, do not touch my face, do not smile, I look calmly at the cards. If the game of poker takes place on the Internet, it depends on the place and time in the game.
I need to learn other players how they play different hands. Most of all I like to bluff being in last position, especially if everyone checked. But I like to play neatly, bluffing often leads and ruins.Bluffing is always a risk, sometimes it is worth losing part of the money than the whole bank.

Reading is the key to detecting a bluff, of course we have made a mistake on many occasions, and we think it's a bluff when the adversary actually has a nuts in his hands

so ... I try to maintain a solid game without bluffs, but there is always some bluffing in the game. Most of the time I can identify a bluff and when I need to bluff I do it only if I'm at an advantage over the villain and in favorable positions.
We are together.

I certainly do not bluff often because I always get caught in those hands that I bluff. I try to stick to being tight aggressive at the tables.

I find myself bluffing more in the higher cost tournaments. It usually does not have a happy ending.

In fact, the bluff is not possible to calculate, even if long to sit at the table and carefully observe all the players..

The main rule when it encounters a bluff check it is not empty-handed! Good luck!

It's hard to bluff in a tournament especially in final table.

you'll detect a bluff by how the player has been playing. It's harder online than it is live. You detect a bluff by posture, voice tone, and many other things. I'm successful in my bluffs if i don't bluff to often.

Why would detecting a bluff be the only option or the best way to approach the concept of bluffing?

I would rather induce the bluff, by witnessing the player bluffing, that is induced by my deeds in earlier streets or prior hands.

This will then allow others or the same player to then against my actions to expand on how they play.

This when I am holding what they are representing, then after allowing them to continue the line of play, do they have the ability to adjust or play future hands straight forward as the result of prior conflicts?

Then my opportunity increases for my game to naturally play without having cards to produce pots but I am never bluffing.

Then trying to detect bluffing becomes a natural part of my game rather than having to "detect", because just like hands that play themselves; this approach is put upon the abilities of others that will define themselves as the session continues.

It is up to me to read the story, tell a story, which defines their deeds based upon how they approach the situation based on ability of the moment.

Then it becomes do I go one level above or below and in the moment my game will know which level or will come to a conclusion they are not bluffing in-fact by putting them into a conflict prior as I described at the beginning.

Then the question will become did they adjust or are they staying true to being straightforward after being induced to show the nature of what they are?

I do this every day on line, based on my abilities, the abilities of others by knowing how to bring out what their abilities are in the moment.

Or I can do this live, the mental part of this by knowing more than the thinker, either online or live, this will produce a truer sense of what is going on in real time.

Then continue the learning process to advance the necessary abilities to further my edge.

we can detect a bluff I see I'm going to cite an example the player in the big blind does not fold to steal and tbm does 100% donkbet and the FLOP comes x, QQ he leaves donkbet on a flop that his hand not very simple agent know that he is bluffing your hand does not have to leave donkbet having two cards equal there I see an interesting spot to try bluffing turn or river.

Any decent bluffer knows all the give away, tell tale signs and will do their best to hide them, disguise them, or feed you false tells. What is left online?
