I think the bluff should be timely and appropriate!!! I have three rules that I try to stick to when playing: 1) don't bluff a player who has very few chips since he has nothing to lose and will take risks at the first opportunity 2) don't bluff the chip leader because he has enough chips to test your bluff 3) don't bluff against a weak and aggressive player as he can test you with any pair of cards!!!
In my opinion, the most comfortable players for bluffing are passive players who still have enough chips to qualify for good prizes !!!

Yes, there were a couple of similar situations ..)))) but I knew for sure that the player would believe ..)))Bluffing is good if you earn respect at the table with your game and convince your opponents that you can be trusted

Hello.
I usually play very carefully and wait patiently for good cards. I rarely bluff, but if I bluff, my opponents believe me and usually my bluff is successful in 90% of cases.

I did not say that you should not bluff new inexperienced players, but only experienced players !!! I said don't bluff against "aggressive newbies" as they will play with any pair even the smallest pair!!! Against such players it is better not to bluff, but to win with a good card !!!

I honestly don't know why some folks even consider bluffing a hand if you're playing micro limits or below or even $1/2 live. Collin in the 30 day course tells you most of the money comes from value betting and I would focus on that rather then trying to bluff folks.
An outright bluff with trash is silly against folks that are going to give you whatever you want by falling in love with an mediocre Ax when one hits the board or overplay some TV poker suited hand from early position.
I would spend more time figuring how people play at table adn value betting than be worried about bluffing them but that's just me.
A question like this will come from someone that overplays AK or AQ raising bigtime before the flop, then misses the board but cbets then goes too far on the turn and the river with the hand and villain can put you on AK or AQ from watching you or they're a calling station and hit middle pair and want to see what you have.
But as folks may have alluded in the thread that you have to know your opponent for a bluff to work because we all know the old mantra, "You never bluff a bad player", right? lol.
Cheers!

I think that cash games have their own rules, I would even say that in order to bluff in a cash game, you need to be one hundred percent sure that you will be believed

Well, we are not always in the mood to bluff, sometimes we turn our card into a bluff, because we believe that they will believe us, sometimes we have to bluff, because there is no other choice, cards are not dealt, and you need to earn chips[emoji3]

The point of the bluff is not to make the player believe...
First, you NEED to know what your image is at the table or if the player has a lot of information about your playing style.
Second, you need to know why you are bluffing this player.
And the last and most important, the move has to make sense, if you're going to bet randomly, without even knowing the opponent's range, for sure, you just pass like a donk falling into traps.

The art of bluffing is much bigger and more complex than you might think. It's not just about betting big to intimidate the villain into giving up.
The art of bluffing starts from your first hand and continues throughout the game with the image of yourself that you pass throughout the game to make you believe when you are bluffing.

I only bluff in situations where I know that my opponent(s) are afraid of me, or afraid of losing a mountain of chips over nothing; never when the community cards are oozing with value and are open for all kinds of interpretations. At the table I love to cultivate my image as a tight and boring player, so if I suddenly raise an extravagant bet I'm being taken seriously in like 80% of all cases.
