Bluffing is an important part of poker. But a successful bluff must be well prepared. You should study your opponents and not let them study themselves, or even create an opinion that is not quite right about yourself. Only then can you successfully bluff. You also need to remember that your preflop bluff can always be unsuccessful, simply because someone sitting after you got really good cards.

I bluff when it necessary but it isn't easy to understand when its possible maybe when I am on big blind and my opponent on small blind only calls the big blind

Why did you continue on when he called every street? he had to catch part of the flop turn or river or had the board beat. what do you think hes calling with?
here i wouldnt say WTF id say why would you keep firing a bluff on a board like that? Terrible play In my opinion as hes not gonna call u all way out with nothing

I've watched many bluff videos of people teaching the right time but I don't learn

I find bluffing works best after playing extremely tight and aggressive raises.... you hope they call you on a hand that you got the nuts :)

A bluff is a dangerous tool, like a very sharp knife. If you use it correctly it's profitable, especially in cash games where people fold more easily. If you use it in free rolls or micro stakes tournaments, you'll probably just get caught and cut...

if you have been selectively playing pure good cards. It is normal that when you do not fall on the flop your cards can be bluff and I will believe it easily. but if there is too much Bluff it is probable that nobody will be deceived and in that case if they lose chips.

If you’re not find spots to bluff you’re not going to be successful long term. If you’re not finding these spots you need to find ways to study and improve. Maximizing your big hands is big but to find successful bluff is what’s going to make you money

I find bluffing a lot doesn't really work in micro stakes cash or freerolls, especially early in tournaments. You might pull some off near the bubble providing you don't have a loose big stack at the table. Unfortunately for me I always seem to get these players on my right.

yes of course but never at the start of the game. I always try to create a good image at the table before bluffing. according to my experience, the best bluff is the one we build preflop. when you take the time to analyze the games of your opponents. there are always some who fold their hands more easily than others. these are the players I'm trying to focus on. the most important thing is to try not to bluff against players who understand nothing about the game and who call with any card.

Bluffing is a very difficult pressure tool! There must be many nuances for your bluff to go. It also depends on the tournaments in which you play. My opinion is that if you want to win, then forget about bluffing !!!!!!!!
