Whats your method on bluffing with online games?

Basically, does anybody have a method they use to bluff other players?

#2 August 16th, 2018, 1:54 AM

Identify a board that has many options that the other player is no currently representing. Think about all those times when all you have it top pair and you're really worried the villain has a monster. You want the other player to be sweating that situation when you bluff.

My bluffs and aggression with the weaker hands in my range are the key to exploiting capped ranges.

Good to note Whats your method on bluffing with online games?

thanks

Popsition is important, and you have to watch what the other players have been doing the last few hands to get a read on how they react to cards

#6 August 18th, 2018, 1:01 AM

I think bluffing comes down to who your opponents are and what the board looks like. Your position is important too.

#7 August 18th, 2018, 1:09 AM

Relative stack size, position and how many left in tourney all contribute to what kind and when I will bluff.

I rarely bluff though so you should probably fold if your up against me lol

I used to bluff more often based on position and stack size however players are too loose that its becoming harder to bluff.

Right now bluffing is only on occasion and I try to do that by raising in position and trying to represent the board.

#9 August 18th, 2018, 2:34 AM

I find it has to be set up just the same as in live poker but I also find that people call more often with weaker hands online than live. Tougher to bluff online because of that but still very doable

#10 August 18th, 2018, 2:02 PM

I am never bluffing, always have it Whats your method on bluffing with online games?

#11 August 18th, 2018, 2:15 PM

I do not know the methods of bluffing, but I know its basis.
Bluffing is effective only against one opponent.
or am I wrong?

#12 August 18th, 2018, 4:37 PM

If bluff without precise value of being hand deep stack and must be in a position preference against an average stack opponent will not bluff against an opponent who is under 10 BB's

But this applies only in advanced stages of the game or next bubble

For me, it is about telling a story. I pick off so many players TRYING to bluff, based off of nothing more than the line they take. Certain lines make sense, others don't. I generally set up my bluffs by playing tight tight tight, and showing down winners first. Then, using meta game, I can set up my bluff attempts by taking the same lines as before and selling them as made hands. Board textures, position, chip stacks, etc., may also come into play as to whether or not I can range my opponent(s) to get the bluff through. I learned over many years not to 'force' it as well. So many people try to bluff in obvious spots...that's when I call with 3rd or 4th pair knowing it is most likely going to be good, based off of whether or not I feel they HAVE to bluff within their range. Hope that makes sense Whats your method on bluffing with online games?

Sometimes I can use a min bet on a dry board to just push others out of the pot even when I haven't connected. Usually it'll be semi bluffs I do where I still have a chance of improving my hand - if my hand is not good enough to even beat other bluffs, I'll lay it down. If I see people on the table who consistently fold to bets, I'm more likely to throw in the odd bluff.

#15 August 18th, 2018, 6:09 PM

I think you can set up bluffs online by playing tight early. You also have to tell a story that makes sense. If you raise preflop, the cards that hit would have to make sense for a continuation bluff. If you are selling having an A bet it when it hits.

#16 August 18th, 2018, 6:09 PM

usually my table image helps out with bluffing in tough situations , if i act as if im playing tight then ill bluff with alot of shortened range style hands if im playing like a maniac and thats how i deem other players see it the same way then ill adjust and play overbet pots with monsters ..all depends on my image and this is the tool that i use with all of my mtts

#17 August 18th, 2018, 7:04 PM

It's about playing for what's too short, and how much you have in your stack as well as what the others have. But above all, this is a matter of daring.

#18 August 18th, 2018, 7:07 PM

my method is to wait the player action before I move one, its clever on that way to see did the player have fear and etc..

#19 August 28th, 2018, 12:02 AM

Hard to catch them with the "fake swallow" online lols

#20 August 28th, 2018, 2:36 AM

I think the method is simple. the main attention behind the actions of another and then make a decisio

#21 August 28th, 2018, 3:33 AM

bluff against guys you know can fold.

you are just spewing if you bluff against the idiots who go to the river no matter what. Against these guys, value bet big.

You will be amazed what some of these people call down with. They think pocket deuces is in good shape against bets on all 3 streets. Basically without good luck you cannot beat these guys.

#22 August 28th, 2018, 3:36 AM

The best way to bluff is to discern what your opponent is representing / has in their hand. Its obviously important to know the players previous folds / raises / responses. If you are up against a donk who will shove all in with a pair then its obviously not advisable to bluff ever since their range to call is higher. So to sum it up I think the best way to bluff is to know your opponent, then as others have stated, tell a story with your bets.

#23 August 30th, 2018, 1:38 AM

Awareness of the situation and having a read on the play are vital in making a successful bluff.

You can test the waters by making a bet if you are first to act, or if no one bets before you and you are in position you can try and steal the pot.

Aggression is your friend but knowing when to cut your losses is very important.

#24 August 30th, 2018, 2:13 AM

good advice and assessment of the situation when using a bluff.
when you read the thoughts of others in the club more experience comes.

#25 August 30th, 2018, 5:01 AM

I play a different game in each hand I try to look shy and then aggressive I try to completely hide my playing style so that when it bluffs it does not match it and when it is not bluff it seems Whats your method on bluffing with online games?

#26 August 30th, 2018, 4:26 PM

I say don't try it too often.

#27 August 31st, 2018, 4:24 AM

in the game you can often notice the bluff of others. this can be seen in a number of actions of the opponent.
this is due to the fact that the player makes too much bluff, and this leads to a fall.

#28 August 31st, 2018, 4:33 AM

I think bluffing is a great tool if used sparingly I don't mind getting caught in a bluff to set up a trap in the similar situation down the road

#29 August 31st, 2018, 6:30 PM

I don t think there is a specific way to bluff, ( if it s specific , then other players will recognize it , it will be obvious) . I beleive bluff is about the situation you re in , and the type of players you re facing.

#30 August 31st, 2018, 7:52 PM

the opportunity to make a bluff comes with experience.
the ability to see this opportunity is already experience and is not given right away in poker.
Bluffing is an art.

#32 August 31st, 2018, 8:19 PM

I don't feel like I'm good at bluffing online...so I try not to anymore...I lost alot trying to bluff...I have bluffed here and there and it works depending on what the opponent is betting....but as far as big pots go I try not to bluff at all...I always get hit some how lol...so many time my opponent called me with A high and beat me lol...

#33 September 3rd, 2018, 12:33 AM

I keep some things in mind, If the Vilain is a fish I dont bluff, If a have a Nice Stack 50bb+ it's ok to try in a wet board.

Show them a raise or action they haven't seen you make yet. Lots of times the confusion forces them out.

#35 September 4th, 2018, 1:47 AM

I can not describe the method of bluffing.
this moment comes when I feel and see the right moment in the game according to the actions of opponents

#36 September 4th, 2018, 1:53 AM

I think playing the bluff in conjunction with the board and the way the hand had played up to that point.

#37 September 7th, 2018, 4:08 AM

To make a bluff I consider the position, the board, the players who are in the hand, if I made the raise or I made the call. I like to bring some cards in hand and take in mind those factors I said above to make a decision, but most of the time I based on the type of board, my cards, the knowledge and action of the opponents.

Understanding what my perceived range is.. If my perceived range smacks the board, good bluff spot.Mixed with position, and knowing my player. If I get caught bluffing, making sure the table see's winning hands from me for a little while till I can get my image back where I want it.
