Do you feel a little embarrassed getting caught bluffing?

[MrPokerVerse]

Never!
There are some spots where it's crucial to bluff. So if you don't get caught... I feel you're not bluffing often enough.

Finding the right place is the key. Nothing to feel bad about trying to make a move. Like the statement about getting caught and not bluffing enough.

I always feel a little embarrassed when I get caught bluffing. And it is weird since bluffing is part of the corner stone of poker.

newer, i took a shoot it didn't work so what, at least when i get a nuts opponent will think that i bluff again and will call

The bluff is a complicated maneuver, you must know the most opportune moment to take advantage. It is necessary to read the table and your opponents well before deciding whether to bluff or not to bluff.

 

[run187]

Nah, without bluffing people would think you just play made hands ..

 

[dcipher]

No reason to be embarrassed as it is a fundamental part of the game.

 

[tuku222]

IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME !! THERE IS NO SHAME!

 

[Hermus]

Nope. If it was a bad or marginal play I'll make a note to analyse it later. If it was a good play I'm just happy that I'm playing my best poker even if I lost the hand.

 

[nativehero2015]

no, many hands to be played , cant dwell on getting caught, who cares move on.

live damn it live

 

[maxivega]

The truth is that I do not feel ashamed, only sadness in not achieving my goal. But there is always revenge and you just have to keep going.

 

[Pepask]

Hey guys,

if someone catche me on a bluff, I do not care about. This game considers very high psychological aspects. You can play with your opponents mind by implicating to have the stronger cards, but also seem very weak by only checking so that he goes all in to catch the pot.

As bluffing is a part of the poker games you do not have to feel embarrased.

Bye!

 

[KeyJey]

Yes of course. Especially when I have a player. As a result, my all-in. And a stronger combination is possible on the table than mine. And I throw off. He specially opens his cards. And he was bluffing. It's a shame even

 

[antonis32123]

I don't feel I have to be ambarrassed whan I am catched by other players to make a failed bluff . Shame or embarassmant , no . It's part of the game , sometimes it happens .But I feel angry when I bluff . and the other calls a very big bet , with stupid cards , yes then I tag him for future use

 

[carmenzu]

For some players, showing bad cards is part of their strategy.
It seems to me a good strategy.

 

[Datdude1]

No I do not. Bluffing is a part of playing poker, it's a skill that needs to be learned. When I get caught bluffing I do however feel like the person Never should have called me...'The Audacity!'...lol

 

[deeznutzz]

No, in fact there are times when I will make a bluff hoping to get caught. Moving forward it can make it harder for opponents to range my hands and it j

 

[manzanillo53]

Sometimes, that is why I do not do it very often. I feel more embarrassed when I call what I think is a bluff just to find out they had the nuts. My read was no good.

[riff_raff312]

[SubZero111]

As much as I try to not be embarrassed when caught bluffing I still feel it. Its a little worse with live poker ofcourse. But even online I feel it a little. I don't know why I guess its just part of being human. I have to say it is not as bad as it was years ago.

 

[Lina1020]

If i'm bluffing i get a little nervous, but a good bluff is based on knowing your opponent and the hand evolution favors bluffing.

 

[Alex Sentsov]

Modesty doesn't belong in poker

 

[Ishnock]

I use a term called bagger, to refer to a player who is trying to bag the pot with a weaker hand. A bagger may have two pair or a pair going up against your 3 of a kind or more, but shoves like he has a killer hand. I have no problem with that, because his hand has points.

My definition of a bluffer is a player who has absolutely nothing to play, and is just looking to steal the pot. I'm not a bluffer, and I don't too much care for them, especially those who are just at the table donk betting with junk hands.

That's why in the Movie Molly's game, where Bad Brad( as in a bad poker player) bluffed with actually nothing to win a huge pot from Hero -- who had a Queens Fullhouse, but folded because the possibility of Brad having a Kings Fullhouse was on the board -- Hero went berserk and had a meltdown. He got bluffed off a powerful hand by a bad poker player - who had never won a hand prior to that win. Hero was never the same after that. And that actually happened in real life.

However, if a player is low on blinds, and is trying to stay in the game, I can see the purpose of bluffing to try to get more chips to stay alive. But that's it.

The other day, a player was just donk betting and raising on every street with 47, while I was sitting on four of kind. I was like dude you had absolutely nothing, zero, total garbage, and you were raising like you were sitting on the nuts.

 

[DoIHaveAFlush]

Nope, not at all - if a bluff gets caught, it's nice for the Opponent - I'm not ashamed to have tried to balance my own poker Repertoire

cheers

 

[bigthereal]

no, it's a pity to be caught, but players do usually bluff, so it's normal

 

[gillschreck2010]

I am not embarrassed of getting caught on a bluff. As others have stated I need to build my stack and sometimes that only happens on a bluff.
