Bluff doesn't have to be frequent to be believed.

Hi Friend.

Before bluffing you have to analyze the player's behavior, if he is passive it is easier, according to his behavior and the cards on the table, you can see if it is feasible or not, I don't usually do it much, but when I do, They usually believe me.

I agree with you, this is a very rational decision[emoji3]

Ask yourself would you believe in that if it will be made against you, if yes, make a bluff.

I'm still learning so this was a great thread to read. Thanks! I have no had any luck with bluffing. Any time I have tried, the opponent had the cards to beat me, so I pretty much don't even try anymore. I just concentrate on the game and I'm sure learning to bluff will come easier in time. I hope so anyway!!!

Hello community[emoji106][emoji16] I noticed that players tend not to believe in bluffing, you do everything to make them believe, well, they still don't believe[emoji16]How often do you get to bluff? And do they always believe you?
Sometimes people believe that making a bluff is just betting on a random pot, but they forget that the focus of the bluff has to be based on the opponent's range and the main thing, make sense.

There is really no rule for a good bluff, it depends so much on various circumstances.

It is practically possible to bluff in any hand. Wanting to do are different things (high risk)

If no one sees your bluffs, you're not bluffing often enough (c) ;)

Your bluffs need to make sense in order to be believed. You have to tell a story and it should make sense on all the streets.

No two bluffs are the same, but they can have the same patterns! Here's the tip.

A good bluff is very difficult and depends on the opponent, your cards, the bet, the cards on the table. In order to be believed, it needs to be done sparingly and measuredly. You never know what your opponent has, just as he doesn't know your cards. Be careful with the bluff! Maybe live play is easier I think!

I usually watch each opponent, I always expect good cards and I bet, when I manage to win the hand one or more times, they start to have respect, some are abused or have nothing to lose, I don't usually bluff many times at the same table, one hour you ends up losing not only the hand but respect, it's a game of patience, study and strategy

I believe that for a bluff to be affective it has to look like a value bet, it has to be a heavy bet +70% if the play is already on the river.


you have to have a good reading of the opponent to make this move and define the opponent's range.

hi

to make a good bluff you have to raise the bets a little more than the opponent and once the river comes, put him allin

Not going to bluff a calling station. Finding the right spot gets easy as the table dynamics settles in. On a tight table that is limping, might bluff more. Using latter position seems to be best shot. Might have to 3 barrel to sell the story.

You need to bluff in such a way that you yourself believe that you have the nuts. Bluff must be convincing.
