Bluffing or bluff catching which one are you better at?

Bluffing ain't easy

The more you play cardchat games the easier it gets so ...

bluffing.

But I think the question is a bit faulted, because it's heavily inclined to bluffing. I mean,you can bluff catch only on river, and bluffing may start even preflop.

If the question was whether people are better at bluffing or bluff catching on river, then I think a lot would answer bluff catching, because well, an average player loves to call :smile:

Everything is imho

i disagree. i have played years against the same players in CC games and it gets complicated to bluff, because as you know how the rest play, there are a ot of guys that have a good knowledge about me. as well, there is a basic concept that you can't do the same trick all the time.

In my opinion, bluffing is a big risk, because your opponent can catch you and it will cost you very much. That's why I prefer not to bluff, but to catch a bluff.

I prefer to set traps for opponents. Opponents who often bluff are usually aggressive players and often make hasty and ill-considered decisions. If you watch the game closely, it is not difficult to catch such opponents.

There is actually one member here whose avatar in poker sites has text "i never bluff" i should imagine this is false advertising sometimes ...

Happy for you and your game. It seems to me that a player can play bluff after reaching certain heights in poker. I don't consider playing bluffs at the micros as an indicator of understanding this side of poker. But if you play at high limits and have achieved a stable income on this, then I take off my hat.

I know who you're talking about. I saw this participant. But in any case, fake advertising is also advertising.

Hi Friend.

I'm not very good at it, but I like to try to catch them, sometimes I pay for others in some hands, but I do it to know my opponent and there are some that soon give up, as well as there are some that I could never find a bluff.

 

[Newzooozooo]

Hi.
I also love catching my opponents. I watch closely during the game, and I usually understand the bluff of my opponents well. All I need to do is be patient and wait for good cards. It's not difficult and fun.
Good luck.

I dont really know, but looking back i have a feeling i am much better at catching bluffs, rather than bluffing myself. But i think im not too bad at bluffing either.

 

[AizenFalck]

I think I'm much better at bluffing than bluffing, it's hard to catch someone especially because you have to have a very good hand to know that your opponent is just bluffing, otherwise you don't have to have a great hand to bluff and make your opponent think you have a great game, I also think that when you bluff and get away with it and when you catch someone bluffing and win, it both feels good Regards.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Like to think I'm good at both, but that is not what you ask. Going to say bluffing, like telling a fictional story on all streets.

Hi,
I like your thread !
I am not very good at either, but I am defenitily better at bluffing. When I bluff catch it feels like I am stationing at most times. But I am working on it !

Lately I’m been really good a calling bluffs. I called triple barrel bluffs few times made more money with mid pair than a good made hand as the betting patterns of triple barrel buffing usually doesn’t make much sense
I’m not as good with bluffing. I would say I only attempt to bluff is better when I prepare at least one street ahead when I certain cards comes on the board
Not to bluff without a plan is harder

Bluff Catcher!!!

 

[moularaki]

i love bluffing but to tell the truth i get cauth often

 

[daniel888]

I think I'm better at bluff catching. Bluffing is difficult for me, especially triple barrels.

 

[mtmigmike]

I prefer two ways, it's easier to confuse the opponent.

 

[Leandro6803]

I'm not a world class bluffing player but I'm not too shabby at it I can hold my own when it's time to bluff. But I'm definitely better on the defensive side of bluffing when I'm catching somebody with the nuts. Sometimes even if I don't have the nuts I catch a nice hand that ensures my 3 calling. Rather it's a flush, straight, a set, etc. Especially if I'm in late position my opponent sometimes falls into the trap

Which one are you better at?

I rarely make a bluff, because I still don't know how to do it right, but when I do, I only make a bluff bet on the flop or turn or river, I think bluffing the three bets is very risky and also that it depends on who you are bluffing against and the bet size

 

[alison]

I rarely bluff but when I do most of the time it works

 

[Cooking]

I think in bluff catching for sure, specially in live poker. When I play online, I bluff more than in live, but it's not that usual.

 

[Ceto65656]

Both a bluffer and a bluff catcher. Hehe

 

[seirmelo]

Blefe

1. So, I've bluffed a few times, but this with some rarity, I'd rather take someone's bluff than bluff, so the check raise never fails.

 

[yango]

I am a bluff almost in most of the times that I find recreational players who always come to bet in very bad moments, in positions which always end up losing like the UTG for which I take advantage of this situation to steal chips from them, without good hands.

I think bluff catching is ''easier'' in serious games because you can actually put your opponents in a range based on their preflop and post flop actions. Who can do this in the small stakes where the players are playing just for fun? I play for fun too but I mean I try to play good.

I remember myself calling down a hand , saying myself ''he can't have this hand right?'' I mean hands like 72o , 83o etc where no one plays them in early position for example. Big mistake you can't do that in small stakes. Fortunately for me I have learned from my mistakes!
