In many tournaments there are players who use the bluff strategy. What measures could a beginner player use to avoid falling into this game strategy?

There is such a thing as invariance. Some calculations can be used to determine the correct bluff frequency. There is also such a thing as a player's image: if you have played tight for a long time, then you can bluff a couple of times ))

bluffing is like a separate institution in poker
use it in the game or be able to recognize it, this comes with experience and understanding of the game
there is no exact definition of winning a bluff.
..bluffing gives the game a danger of chic and brilliance, but it is always dangerous both for you and for others, depending on how it is ordered or recognized
everything comes with experience and gut

I think you shouldn't think about it. It's better to just show your best game by playing cards, and not watch someone blather or not.

I think if you are playing at the micros bluffing less works. Lot's of players will call you down with not much, so I think if you play your value hands strongly and try to extract the max value from them you will do fine. If you've got a good hand against someone who bluffs a lot let them hang themselves. If you look to add bluffs to your play, start with spots where players will tighten up like on the bubble. If you have the bigger stack and you can threaten their tourney life your bluffs are more likely to get through. GL!

I know many tight players and 99 out of 100 you will never catch. The trick for me is do not abuse the bluff and other players will respect your play. This comes with years of play so watch your bluff and do not get caught with your pants down. Capo1014

The important thing is to understand why you are bluffing and who you are trying to bluff.

You Tube

It's important to be able to bet chips without having a 'made hand', but it's largely a balancing act. Hopefully the video above can help with understanding that.

In my opinion, everything is very simple. The beginner should simply ignore the provocative actions of opponents, be patient and play only with strong cards.

True man, ignore and play your game

The bluff strategy is not an easy strategy to learn, I often play tight but sometimes I use the bluff to mix my play so opponents can often call my value bet.

How bigger his stack, how gresater the bluffs they make. You can easy double up on these players.

Bluffing is a part of the game. Its always there and you will learn how to recognize it as you learn more about poker itself.

Without bluffing, poker would be just picking hands! But the art of bluffing is a very difficult thing that takes a long time to learn - there are a lot of nuances here!

So who's bluffing? You or him? If he's bluffing puts the entire stack on the river, and you don't have anything, then it turns out you're bluffing) If you have something, then put it if you don't have anything, then fold what can I advise here. I'll say, " if you have a weak or medium hand, it's better to pass," you'll Still be in the black. I don't like bluffing.

chic and brillance, I like that.
I find nothing gets the heart beating more than pulling off a bluff. Your opponent goes into timebank and you think he must call. He has to. The clock keeps ticking. Haaaaaa for me it's the most thrilling part. Catching a bluff feels good but getting one over at a crucial time is a whole other level.

you need to master three important concepts to be able to bluff well, position (range advantage), read on your opponent from enough hands since online the only tells you have is the time they take to act and the bet size and sizing, if you are scared to bluff it will be hard getting your opponent to fold

A good reading of the betting sequences that your opponent followed, that is, if I raised preflop or made some 3bet etc, that will suit you. Add a range of cards that you can have and thus know if you are bluffing or not

I think that in the cheapest tournaments, in the initial phase we find many artists who bluff with nothing. So just wait for a valuable hand to call and win a lot of chips. In the final stages of these cheaper tournaments, the opposite occurs, players tend to be much more tights and have a lot less bluff.

Yes. adrenaline beats with all its might at such moments

Play only strong hands...

Trying to open a bluff, you will have to call your opponent's bets more often, and many of them will not be a bluff, which will be a loss for you at a distance. Don't rush Hiro calls. And don't focus on your opponent's bluffs, rather build traps with strong hands.

it is very difficult for a beginner! only after playing 2,5 thousand tournaments I learned to bluff a little))) maybe my development is slow)

You have to be able to bluff. In life, the lie comes to light, and so is poker. You have to learn not only when to bluff, but how to bluff. I don't think there is a hand count here that you can say I can bluff

The first time I played without bluffing at all. And only over time, I began to use bluff. Sometimes a bluff leads to the loss of the entire stack, and if you are not sure of a positive outcome, then it is better not to use a bluff.

Bluff in position. Bluff against tight players. Bluff with outs

measures you say is not to be bluffed? it is impossible to achieve this, even professional players fall into bluffs imagine mere mortals. What you can do to train your reading and understand the ranges by position, to know if the village's play matches the board and the range he plays from a certain position, and even then you will still be bluffed sometimes.

The Bluff is a strategy that must be used in poker ... however the key is to know when to use it ... and for that we must take into account against which opponent we will do it and under what circumstances we will do it ...

observing your opponents and performing certain actions based on observation in a game situation with the number of game tournaments the number of hands you will gain experience gain knowledge and it will become easier for you to play

Many players use bluffing, as this is a very good way to earn chips, the card will not always be good and bluffing is always appropriate, the main thing is not to do it too often, otherwise they will simply not believe us and will win against us.

When you start playing alot you learn more about your opponent, I remember some of the names lol, an how they play,

a good reading of hands and having knowledge of your rival, having data will help you to know if your opponent abuses the bluff or not and thus you will know when to play him

As in other strategy and card games, I believe that bluffing is a tool that every player can and should use at the right time in the tournament or cash game, if by chance you use this technique at an inopportune time the chance of losing is great

Value Extraction
I think extracting maximum value from the two cards you are dealt is very important and Value Betting will yield many more times the profits then pure bluffing with complete air.

the bluff cannot escape and there is no way to know 100% if your opponent is bluffing, but with a good reading of the table and writing down the players to minimize the effects

good question i also have a lot of difficulty on this point as i played only live i could have less difficulties but online i believe with a certain time i will improve

By being patient and get the right hole cards.

You need to understand what situations you and your opponent would bluff. At times you need to take a moment and think about how your opponent played a particular hand, and whether this is their default go to. If it is, then next time around it would give more information.

I believe bluffing is appropriate when you have a decent bankroll or none at all.

Learn poker theory, practice a lot, and the experience will come naturally. Pay attention to your mistakes, watch other players play, apply your skills and hone them. Transfer your gaming experience and your feelings to the game of opponents and subject it to analysis. Read books on the psychology of poker.
Here are the highlights
There are no easy ways.

lol, none of these replies explain why, when or how you should should be bluffing.

I'm too drunk to even try to explain but please know that you're all wrong, lol

Bluffing is part of the poker, but as the contrary as the people think is that bluffing is too often. The pros rarely bluff. Of course they do it and they even want to be caught in their bluffs sometimes.
The beginners bluff too much. Would say this is cannot be called a strategy as you must use it only in a certain times.

I agree
beginners often overuse this technique and end up being used by experienced players, which is not conducive to the game and development of poker in general

Bluff is a big part of winning but you should use it carefully

I think the key is in the BEGINNER part in your question - you can avoid and win players who bluff with experience. I mean - if you're a beginner, there is no way you could tell a bluff apart from solid play, unless the player bluffs like being insane. However, with time and experience, you will tell.

Play tight against this style of play

fold a lot and make it noticeable. tank if you must then fold to let your opponents know you are making hard folds, also play with their patience and timing, so when you start playing and betting they know you have something just make sure you play your position well. you can now be the bluffer if you have strong hand and if you hit you can check and pretend you didn't hit and try to bait the bluffer to give you his chips, then he will be out of the tournament and you keep playing.

no poker without bluffing.

Most players realize that Table Image and Bluff frequency seldom matters at micro or low level stakes games. These players aren't typically focused enough to put the pieces together.
