I very rarely go bluffing, and it's only at the end of the tournament

I avoid bluffing in order to commit my stack in the game so the bluffs are proportional to the amount of BB's I have

Still to bluff you need to take into account the position you are and fold equity from your desk or the stage of the tournament or the player who played against

To think well a couple of AA in hand it forces the fold equity the table so it is effective for it with a pair of AA all give call you do not win or 50% of the time so you need to play strong and bluffing at the beginning or play in the first second and third strategies barrel at an appropriate time given the variables mentioned above

Generally I avoid bluffing in most cases and according to my evolution mute chips decisions of bluffing

Hi

I bluff 7-10 hands I play.
Some I get called most no.

Remember if you bet on a draw (str8 or flush) and no one calls you, I dont consider that a bluff.

Keep bluffing it helps improve your game (if you take me seriously that is)

Bluffing

I pretty much only bluff when I raised preflop and miss. This is when you can seem the strongest. I also will bluff when I put my opponent on top pair and the flush gets there. This is a perfect opportunity because you rep a hand that demolishes them.

Bluffing is like betting to get an answer to the question of what do you have that can beat me. You don't need to go all in to bluff. Bet half the pot.

I used to never bluff. I felt like I was lying. But I watched all the winners I played against on Freeroll, ACR, and they lie most of the time....or, rather, they "bluff". So, now my husband has been teaching me how to "bluff" and I have tried it a few times this past week and started winning a few more hands than usual. Doesn't anyone like to just play poker anymore.?

I hardly ever go for a pure bluff. You need to have tons of fold equity for that to work. At least with semi-bluffs you also have the potential of hitting a hand and winning.

Blufed

So, how often do you find that jumping in big bet not because of what you keep and what you have put on the flop, and you can make others think they can hold?
Bluffing is one of the nicest features in poker and the coolest is when you felt when you can do it. To know at what moment and against whom these are skills such as knowing when to fold that strong hand. My advice is you pick off a bluff weakness immediately

You always need to identify your opponents.


Postflop:

If they are overfolding, bluff with any 2 cards at least once (don't have to bet big)
If they are overcalling, medium value hands become nuts.
This has everything to do with both of your ranges and how both of you would play those ranges.

Preflop: depends on the stage of a tournament, stack sizes distribution, bubble factor, estimated fold equity against a particular opponent (depends on your relative position at the table), even your own image.
But try not to overthink, don't level yourself into
a 4bet-bluff push just because of vilian was 3betting lightly lately. He might bluff 3bet you, but when facing a 4bet-push for 30 Big blinds, he won't be able to fold just because. Yet again, know your opponent.

It just takes time, it's a game of skill after all.
