Do you bluff? Sometimes, never, often? I'm still playing my rookie season in poker, I tried it very few times, it worked every time. Maybe not a bad way to steal a hand when you are chip leader. Of course you can always make an unnecessary loss.
It is much easier to take a weak opponent out of a hand, so try to identify weaknesses and bet on noticing one of them. So you must bluff against an opponent, because having more players is more likely that one of them has good cards...Do you bluff? Sometimes, never, often?

I think that everyone who is playing poker must bluff sometimes, because it is a part of the game. You must not do it always, because it will never work. The bluff should be in very specific situations to be done successfully. If you have never bluffed someone, that is not a good sign. You can not wait only for perfect hands and to play them. I have had many hands which I am the original raiser and I had nothing on the flop but continue to bet and in most of the hands it works. If you are going to bluff, it is better to be the original raiser from the start of the hand as you will show you are confident to take the control of the hand as others will think you have something huge. But always remember that if someone continues to call you, you should stop. It is not mandatory when you start a bluff to finish it.
