Do you know how to bluff?

What the most important poker strategies to create a solid foundation for the game
Explore safely, without risking much, but you should always risk something
The best concept to start with is bankroll management.
This done the bluff strategies begin, which many think is just putting all their chips in the pot and praying for their opponent to give up ..
It's not just a matter of wagering your chips in the middle of the pot without a hand, bluffing requires delicate strategies, what is your best way to apply a perfect bluff?
Bluffing in poker is an art, we often see players apply these perfect bluffs and make you even more disgusted, show your cards. Think about what you are trying to represent with your bluff
There are many aspects to bluffing in poker, and like almost everything in life, the best way to learn in practice, think first of all the risk that your bluff can cause in your stack if it is comfortable to apply it optimally, Otherwise it Is better to stay in the game play hard as consistent players survive more than crazy with cards up their sleeves.

Avoid a post oak bluff, where it looks obvious.

To bluff properly you need to understand what cards / hand you are representing and play the hand as if you had it, betting appropriately on each street.

Obviously bluffing is not the easiest task in poker. If you want to bluff you need to understand what are you trying to represent. Bluffing is an essential weapon of your poker arsenal. You can't survive and proceed deep in an MTT only by playing a b c poker in my humble opinion.

You can make semi - bluffs with your draws and fire barrels against your opponents with cards that maybe suits better your range. Of course you need tons of experience to do that and a lot of practice. Be careful not to waste your brain cells and most importantly your chips against a random clicker. Even going all in with air is a move that can win you many precious chips!

Twitch is a good place to watch some pretty informative poker streams!

Bluff is useful in the later stage of the tournament. When the opponent thinks that he has studied your strategy. Before that bluff is very risky. But that's my opinion

That is how I feel, after establishing that you are a solid player. Then you can bluff. going all in time after time, is not how to bluff. Frustrating when someone keeps doing that, you get KK, and they have AA when you call. lol

Bluffing is done by players who have developed a table image where the enemies expect them to raise small whether they have three of a kind or just one pair. Once you get this table image, you then can bluff with ease with small-scale blind raises.

Yeah, it's way easier to build a false story when you have the backgrounds to do what you are saying you are doing, work on that.

I think that bluffing is best in the moment when you have won a really good amount of chip so they will think that you play only on strong hands.

The perfect bluff in poker is based on decoding the hand of your opponent and know what hand are you representing obviously the nut at the moment so your opponent doesn't risk with his medium hand for this you must always analize his preflop bet put him on a range that you know he doen't have the nuts and know his style because there are riskier players that will get to the showdown with those medium hand so for me the ost impoortant thing on a bluff is to make a good analysis of your rival

Good Luck!

If your opponents see that you are trying to bluff too often, no one will fold on your crazy stakes even with a weak hand. But the point of earning on a bluff is to steal a pot without opening to. Otherwise, the bluff value is lost.

I use to be decent with my bluffs, being able to keep my chips up with them. Lately it's been a different story, I think karma maybe catching up to me. The bluff is a play that might never be mastered, so just be careful with urs!

Do u know how to bluff

It seems that bluffing is truly an art form in a poker hand. I got AA in the big blind. And only called the bets until the river card. Ended up with four AAAA. And placed in that tournament. I bluffed by not raising. Right?

A bluff is made by not having the best hand, though managing to out bid or out play ur opponent to win. Don't think ur case was a bluff, but it was a smart move if u scooped up a big pot!

I bluff rarely. I think that bluff is a rare forced strategy. It can not be used often. You can not be sure of 100% refusal of an opponent to call.

Hello for me how to make a bluff is some skill, and in my case I should always have many more chips than my opponent given that if I have a similar stack, my opponent could turn things around and end up making a bluff to me, and That if our rival sees that it did not affect our bank would not risk to leave the tournament before a strong move on our part.

Even if you play the quietest poker, you're not a player if you do not know how to bluff, changing the strategy in the tournament is the key to success.

You don't need your opponent to fold 100% of the time. In fact, for many bluff sizes, you don't even need them to fold most of the time. If you bet 60% of the pot, you win money if they fold more than 37.5% of the time. If your hand can't win at showdown, and you opponent might fold even 50% of the time, a bluff should show a profit.

If you bluff and get called, that doesn't mean it was a bad bluff.

Bluffing is an art. Make an impression at the table and then bluffing can be accomplished.
