I do it when the time is right might be three hands in a row or might not bluff at all you will have to call to fine out.

I play low value tournaments and bluffing is no longer an option because they pay big

It happens. But it's very rare. I think each of us, not no, but bluffing.

Depende muito da situação, se for em torneio, no início farei poucos blefes, até montar uma imagem segura, depois uso essa imagem a favor para poder blefar

It’s hard to make hands in NLHE so I bluff as much as the table allows me to. Target the right spots and situations and most of the time you don’t even have to show your cards.

The standard tactic for bluffing is that you want to balance bluffs with value- a 2 value hands for each bluff hand is the most common balance --We practice this concept by building ranges and refining them on each street--

As others have said however that most V are unbalanced so we would adjust our ratio per player and if the V call too often we would bluff very seldom

It is something that can be done depending on the situation, it depends on my chips, position at the table, the players I am facing and if I see them as weak.

Hi.
I rarely bluff. Very often opponents just play with any cards, so in my opinion it is better to minimize bluffing. Although there are situations when a bluff is necessary.
Good luck.

I usually bluff little, and I call a lot of bluffs, with experience I've done well most of the time I call, bluffing is necessary, but you have to know when and with whom to bluff, you have to be attentive in the game, you have to read the players and You have to be lucky too.

The right question would be...

Do you accept bluffs?

or

Do you call everything when they lay?

I'm flexible 😃

I just try to play against the villans tendencies.

If they fold too much - I bet more often.

If they call too much - I play for value.

It depends a lot on the situation at the moment, and on the opponent how he has been betting or not on the move, sometimes it works out well sometimes it doesn't!! but most of the times that I have floated it has worked out well for me...

I'm not a fan of bluffing but when I do it's actually a kind of defense of my position. I give a raise only in the hope that I will be able to see the next card that could bring me victory

It all depends on who and where you play. You need to study your opponent well and it's not a fact that your bluff can pass. Bluff is always a risk.

Let's say, it depends on the reading I do about the opponents at the table

Good morning everyone, I don't use the bluff very often because I play micro limits and in micro it's not necessary to bluff because the villains pay a lot, there are players who hit 4 or 5 pair on the board and still don't fold, that's in Mtts.
In the cash game, my bluff is much smaller with almost no bluff, today I was playing cash and on the river I went all in with a flush on A semi nuts because the board hit 3 diamonds 4d 6d 2d no hand was against 2 players and I went all in of 195bb and villain with 186bb insta call, in micros the secret is to play for value.
At higher limits, however, bluffs are much more frequent, I usually see good poker players on twitch playing live and it is impressive to see how the bluff usually passes and the players who master this tool are very profitable.
In micros, you don't need to bluff, but in higher limits it is essential to be profitable.

The bluffing move should not be done randomly. There are times and even right opponents to execute this move. Opting for this at the wrong time may not be advantageous!

Bluffing is a part of the game called poker. I use the bluff technique as I think everyone here, but you need to understand and be able to use it. At the beginning of the tournament, it makes no sense to me, but when the stakes are high and the tension on the flop or river is strong, why not.

More than I should :D
Generally, I think the best way to play, at least in a tournament, is to be patient and play solid. That said, you should bluff from time to time - I like to 'semi-bluff' though - at least to have some draw...

I always have a bluff percentage, I always try to make sure that my bluff makes sense, also to know what kind of player you are bluffing, it will depend on many factors to get that bluff right.

Like everything in poker, there is a right time and a right place for bluffing. For me, my bluffs need to make sense and tell a story that is believable. Also, tell me what you consider to be a bluff? Is c-betting a flop bluffing when you didn't connect to it?
