Yes, I agree without bluffing poker would not be but we must also know when and how to bluff and if you bluff then by the end of


there are certain situations when bluffing is appropriate and provides with a good result here is one example if you play in tournaments where 2 or 3 players good cards are not always coming so in order not to lose
often need to bluff

When 2 or 3 players to bluff of course it turns out comfortable but when more players is not so great a tactic

Is it possible to play cash profirably without bluff?

I think I can win a game without a bluff, I do not particularly like bluffing because I do not think I would know the right time and I would surely miss it.

hi

Hello.Bluff is a part of poker .Sometimes when there is no chance at win you need to try a good bluff,from the flop until the river because bluffing at river without any raise before its really risky.Otherwise if you play like a nutts guy bluff is more efficient to be passed .Anyway have a nice game with or without bluffs :)

Just an option, I bluff very rarerly, and I have already won some tournaments.

I do not argue but it is possible and to remain without a penny if you constantly bluff

One key thing on a bluff is stack size. They have big stacks, they might not care and call. Small stacks might care and fold, or they might feel too invested already already and call. Totally depends on your reads and player images.

And then the calls do not understand you when playing poker call a friend and ask to bluff you or not:joyman:

If you mean you make a bluff and they don't even see the thing your bluffing, like if a straight draw was just completed and they don't even consider it, yeah I've had that happen too. I was very surprised because the guy I was HU against is a decent player. After the hand he said he was too focused on his hand vs the possible flush draw that missed. I guess having too many possible draws and one fails can confuse people as well.

I might try mixing in alot more Will Kassouf style of play "Oh there's no way you have the straight draw, if you do more power to you though." to key them in on the fact that it exists. If they have it, they raise you and you get out, if they don't and are suddenly shocked by not having had seen it, they might fold. I'd like to get into more mind games with verbal play.

Bluffing is crucial to be consistent on your hourly earnings.

When I first started playing cash I always played the tight game where i waited on premiums to jump in the mix. I found myself getting bored with that play style and also learning that though tight poker can be good it can also lead to lack of action. New age poker is play any two cards and make the opponent think you always have him beat. Always be a mystery, semi-bluff and most of all mix it up. I can't tell you how many times I have taken down KK AA QQ starters with hands like 89 Suited and other decent paint runners. Though the rules never change each game will vary. You must evolve and change gears according to characteristics of each player you come across. ;)

Yes it is true, not only have you beat with QQ KK AA with these vapors immediately go all in or very very aggressive play:mad::angel:

Just don't bluff too often and you will be OK.

And remember that sometimes your opponent have good cards, so allin isn't always a good option.

I agree but bluffing is also necessary to know when and how to bluff AK to force others to fold if he began to bluff we should have to go through I believe:angel:ее

I only bluff when I have enough data from my opponents, mainly when I climb very often with position

Bluffing in my mind :
Micro stakes = don't bluff fish !
middle stakes = options
High stakes = must

Yes, bluffing is an integral part of the game , but to bluff often and not feeling the situation is a sure loser

Well. No need to bluff with totali fishes.
But with at least a bit experienced opponents, you just have to bluff. At least couple of times, so they will then call all the other times when you are not bluffing.

Depends on all the variables. Position, table image, the other player and aggression. I only bluff in cash when I know my opponents will fold. I also usually semi-bluff. I'm not bluffing without least something that fits into my hand. It may be bottom pair and was checked around. Maybe I'm on a draw. Always make sure you have outs. In tournaments: I'm bluffing all day, everyday and twice on Sundays.
