Good morning folks I raised this poll and I would like to know if you bluff or play safe which of these attitudes do you find most profitable in poker.

I find it most profitable when you win a serious pot and show your bluff to the opponent. Then you face the same opponent specifically after a while. Playing a check-call with a monster hand will break his heart. You need to bluff rarely, but exactly.

I think it's more profitable when you can mix the two styles regulary, because this way the others players can't read you. I have to work more on my bluffs, my style definitely is more tight.

I do both while playing poker as bluffing is part of the game. I mix both ways of playing trying to make it harder for other players to read my play

Cheers ALL ! :D

I agree with most of the posters on this thread.

I don't think that bluffing and "playing it safe" exclude each other.

I like to bluff when it is "safe" to bluff.

If I am bluffing with complete air - and I know my opponent will call because they have something strong - then it is not safe to bluff.

Well timed bluffs is the correct way to go.

Bluffing every hand is negative EV.

Good luck !

Depends on situation and player. If I feel I can get away with a bluff, I will bluff

Playing super tight. That is AK ,QQ and better is a valid form of play . But to be a good poker player and one that wants to win . Bluffing has to be one of your strong weapons. You just have to be aware of your opponents, position, stack size etc. Especially when you reach a final table or close. If you dont steal blinds, you wont survive.
