I consider bluffing a weapon at the right time, but it's very easy to see when your opponent is bluffing out of desperation.

If you bluff well, then it's a weapon but lately I'm seeing it used very poorly and therefore it's desperation...

I've already used both ways..lol
I usually bluff few times in online poker, I think it's more effective in live poker.

The bluff will always be a weapon, but you have to know when to use this trick, otherwise it becomes trivialized and nobody believes it anymore and will always call the hand. That's why it's very difficult to evolve in a tournament. Bluff the right weapon to use at the right time! Simple! Knowing when to use it is the hardest.

I agree with the other members - it is a tool. Can be used in several ways to gain an advantage. If you have a suitable table image it can also be used when you are desperate.

Deception is very important to me, I use it when I'm trapped .

Bluff? I do not bluff. I also don't gamble. Do you want to bet on it?

Bluffing is an important technique in poker. There are many ways to bluff in poker. Using the technique too actively will cause weak opponents to adjust. This will result in a loss.

bluff is the ultimate weapon. hard to bluff short stacks though, they would tend to go all in on you, so, it would have to be against opponents that know you rarely bluff and put you on a good hand.

I think for some people bluffing is all you need in poker to beat weak players but some players overestimate bluffing and do it so often that you can remember it and play against them and they'll do it all the time and you'll beat them easily so you need to be able to bluff and have skill if you learn it you'll get a lot of money

Hi, I think bluffing is one choice when you know your opponent and you can get good chips.

Bluffing is a weapon, even when bluffing out of desperation. However, bluffing is a double-edged sword. And it often cuts the wielder. I see people bluffing with 79o. This is despair. I see people bluffing with 99 This is not desperation as it has some equity. However, if you go all-in pre-flop with a hand like this, the person is taking the responsibility off himself and putting it on luck. However, depending on the game situation, it is still an interesting weapon.

If you're getting caught bluffing a few times, it's because you're bluffing less than you should.

obs: cardschat freerolls or anywhere else are not the basis for this type of analysis.

Bluffing is a part of the game so it's defenitelly a weapon for me. Making good bluff is a poker skill.
