Based on my experience, I conclude: bluff poker online is possible only when you are the chip leader. In other cases, the other is stupid and thoughtless. What do you think of this conclusion?

The conclusion is good, but in my opinion this depends largely on the players against whom you play

Exactly, it always comes down to your opponent, bluffing against fishes is almost always a bad idea because they tend to play more hands than they should.

So by chip leader I assume you're talking tournaments? Having a big stack certainly allows one to open up their game some, but by no means do you have to be the biggest stack at the table. Just having say a 40 or 50bb stack when the average is 15-20 is enough to make some moves you can't or shouldn't make with shorter stacks. Sometimes you can 3 bet shove some pretty weak hands with shortish stacks. When the rest of the table is fighting for their tournament lives it can be pretty hard to call a 15bb shove, this is referred to as a restealing and it must be part of your arsenal. You don't have to have much but I like to at least have some kind of decent battle hand, like a pair, suited connector or broadways. With a big stack, well, now you're cookin' with grease. Nobody wants to tangle with you because you can make calls they can't. This is a great opportunity to build your stack. When a big stack (not necessarily the biggest stack) raises, the shorter stacks understand you will likely call any all-in bet under 8bb's so they're forced to either fold or put their tournament lives on the line. So, to your point, this would be a very bad time to try to bluff.

I believe that the bluff should be practiced when you have a good reading of your opponent, in addition, should take into account the moment of the game, not to put your stack at risk, a good stealing when done in a correct way, always bring you good profits, doing wrong, bluff will lead to ruin

I think being a chip leader does help in bluffing, but it depends on the players you play with and the leaven you have on them. And I also think bluffing at the start of the tournament is a bad strategy

Its possible to bluff with less chips than your opponents. You need to do it right. Depends on position, action before, moment, other guys chips and the way they are playing.

The chip leader has, with an unsuccessful bluff, the right to make a mistake. His opponent has no such chance

I'm sorry I disagree, sometimes you don't get many hands so you need to bluff a little " in position " to keep your stack alive. Don't bluff too much though just when you can

Why? Bluff is possible when you understand where and how to bluff. Against regplayer on suitable board you can even do it with 2-3 remaining BBs.

It is recommended to do this when there are very few players left in the bank. It is easier to deceive one opponent than several at the same time. After all, it is likely that someone might have a strong combination of cards on their hands. And even if you do not believe, somebody will quite risk playing the game in principle, to still see your card.

It is true that the amount of chips with respect to your opponents gives you a great advantage to bluff, but I also think it is important to take into account the number of opponents who choose a hand, rather than the number of chips.

in my opinion and experiences in the games I bluffed and won, depends on several factors: your position on the table, your opponents regardless of the amount of chips you have, if you are in a good position at the table and watching the players have time You may have low cards that everyone will fold.

To some extent, I agree with you!
It all depends on what kind of opponent you are playing ...
Even if you ChipLider - and go to bluff, and then suddenly loses - you can play in order to return the lost ... but this in most cases leads to tilt ...

Sometimes you realize that you can and should be bluffing now but you do not have enough spirit. Then after the game you regret that did not go to the end

Perhaps someone who does not know how to bluff can not win big tournaments?

I think that your conclusion about the bluff is not true. I bluffed the chip leader. I bluffed with a short stack. I bluffed from the early position. I even bluffed, sitting by the window. But I agree that the bluff does not work against the idiot.

i agree, the best time i feel is when you're the chip leader around the bubble, i bluff often and generally take the blinds.

brief view on the bluff

Poker is a game that requires a lot of reading on the opponent to apply the bluff. Of course, against larger stacks it is not advisable to do so as it can cost you elimination in the tournament. However, when that action turns against you from an opponent with a bigger stack, it is worth remembering that the amount of chips of the villain, allows you to open the range of hands to be played. However, one should be more selective in the group of hands to be played over that opponent, who will most often be ahead.
