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.

bluffing is an essential part of the game, you just have to use it correctly. I like to semi bluff and in certain spots use pure bluffs, sometimes they dont work, but you have to be prepared for that. Overall if you dont go crazy with bluffs you will be ok.

Bluffing is something I really need to work on. I never know how to bluff. I am very weak on bluffing, but I see so many players who can. Hopefully one day I can get that down.

Bluffing is one of the hardest things in poker in my opinion, especially in live poker where you can't make any different face expressions. I personally rarely bluff, only when I know who I'm playing against.

My usual play is tight but when the blinds start going crazy and BB's start turbo-ing up quickly you have to pull the trigger.

Those players to your left playing tight. Bam
Small Blind min bets or trys to steal Bam.

Sometimes it works and sometimes not but u don't want to be blinded out. I'd rather go down swinging :p

Oh yeah, I really love bluffing, I get so high when bluffing really works, and I get even more excited by the fact that people get used to my bluff and, with the tassel (my) combination for astu, people think I'm also bluffing

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...
Good Lucky,

It depends, I don't bluff very often. Bluff must be very good prepared. It's not easy to know how and when bluff.

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.

Yeah, in general i see it the same way. Moreover it's such a nice feeling winning a hand with a bluff. But it's hard for me to stop the bluff if someone starts calling.

No bluff .. no win

Impossible to win MTT's if you don't bluff. No one is lucky enough to get that many good cards.

I'm bluffing and very often, it's important to know when and against who you can bluff and if you are bluffing do not be afraid to bluff
