As a beginner, I try to avoid it. Helps to avoid harmful situations.

This isn't much of a question. If you don't bluff, you don't win. Period.

Not very often, in the low limit mtts some one is going to look you up unless you will
to bluff full pot. On the river it more value betting than bluffing, if I think I get a player to pay off the last bet I will take it.

Bluff is part of the game and a good strategy to win against tough players.

If the situation allows you to bluff, then of course I'm bluffing. Without bluffing, it’s sometimes difficult to lift the stack

My bluffs often get called as I’m playing low stakes and the risk for callers is relatively low regarding amount of potential winnings that are at stake.

Its such a general term. If your pure bluffing a lot you really putting yourself at risk to lose a lot. But you may get away with it here or there in good spots. You may think your bluffing but be ahead and thinly value betting and not betting you may be pushed off the hand with a worse hand. With a lot of outs with a semi bluff you stand a good chance of wining anyway.

It really depends on player and hand but I used to never bluff in live games but have bluffed online rarely when I strted online now 10 years later I bluff on regular basis when its right time but when I get caught it sucks you just got to know how long you can keep up the bluff on 1 hand.

SO NOW U KNOW I BLUFF JUST FOLD WHEN I DO OK HE-HE

At some point we all do it all depends on the circumstance and how the hand develops. the bad thing is that if you do it too often you will lose more than you will gain a lot of risk

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 essential because a good poker player must have the malice to bluff, in contrast to being a strategist and hitting hands that can bring a safe pot without having to take so much risk.

Is there at least one poker player who doesn't bluff? so many people are bluffing in real life, not in the game

At low levels I think bluffing is not very profitable in the long run. So that tool is not very polished in my game. Nor do I think it is a fundamental tool to be a winning player, but it allows us to have a balanced game and not become exploitable.

You must bluff in order to play, sure there is no hope for the FT or bubble if you dont.
Playing poker with A 10 and representing them as a AA is a skill which must be learned during the years.
If you are beginner then you might find yourself in a position where you don't know when and from which position to pull that.
You must build yourself on the table, steady reputation which will give you chance to win some of the pots with not so much effort.
Watching some yt how to will help, but with needed executing on real play, you know if the man was able to do things just by viewing we all have been "pro's".
