Is it OK to never bluff?

WabiSabi · Jun 2, 2018

Just a basic cbet is often a bluff and barreling the turn when you pick up a draw is a semi bluff , youll also be 3bet bluffing at times.So your always going to have bluffing as part of your game.It's ok not to run huge turn or river bluffs for your stack though in the micros imo and probably 4bet bluffs aren't majorly important until you gain more experience.

I think that the bluf is really important to continue in long tournaments so when I am in position I try to explore this and bluf on the small blind and the big blind.

if you have a lot of time and playing a cash game you do not have to bluff just wait for god card

Bluffing is mandatory for poker, as well as stealing blinds without it you can not win tournaments.

MikeCarasone · Jun 4, 2018

You will not get enough hands to win without having the ability to run a bluff in your arsenal. Stealing blinds in position or continuation bets on missed flops will often take down the pot. Obviously table dynamics and player reads are vital in pulling off a bluff. There’s gonna be spots that bluffing is key and necessary to win.

You can beat the micro stakes games by never bluffing. But it is not optimal. In other words, by including some bluffs in your game you will be able to achieve the top winrate.

you get a reputation as a tight player and will not get good pots with strong hands.

If you makes profit then you dont need to bluff.

wsbar · Jun 4, 2018

There are players who rarely bluff, but if you do not learn to bluff you will not become a full poker player, you should know the right time to bluff, there are super insurance players who will drop strong hands if you raise at the right time and can win a beautiful pot. However, there are poker players who even with a pair of 2 with a board full of overcards, will not drop their hand with their raise and can even apply a re-raise on their raise. So for the bluff to be well executed it is necessary a series of factors to be observed to make your move profitable. I hope I have collaborated. Good luck at the tables.

If you are the fit or fold only playing the nuts player, I think you are prime candidate for the bluff every few orbits. Your image is strong and you appear to not be in there unless you should be. Just know when to cut it loose if your gut tells you the board is made for dang near anything that you don't have (4-flush on the board, open ended on the board, 2-pair).

I think it is necessary to bluff now and then, otherwise the agressive players would hunt you down. Just my oppinion.

Eric Salvador · Jun 4, 2018

There's no way to achieve success unless you find ways to get bluffs through. Your opponent misses the flop just as much as you, 67% of the time. If you're not bluffing then your being bluffed. I highly recommend watching youtube videos, subscribing to PokerGo or reading some poker books to help in these areas.

Poker without bluff is not a poker...

pokersextreme · Jun 5, 2018

Yes it is ok but you'll be easy to read especially when head's up.

leogetz79 · Jun 5, 2018

i only bluff if i actually have something to hit.

georgi krastev · Jun 8, 2018

Hello!Never bluffing, is not good ! There are situations that must be bluffed!The more I play, the more I understand that is so!:elefant:

Katyushka4 · Jun 8, 2018

If you do not bluff, then this is not real poker.
You will be only attached to your cards and you can not go beyond that. And this is a huge mistake that many players allow. As soon as you understand this, your results will immediately go up the hill.

Elvin771 · Jun 10, 2018

When you're playing lowstakes bluff percentage is decreased

1KrazyMofo · Jun 10, 2018

do what you feel comfortable doing, if you don't like to bluff then don't if its working for you then why change? generally solid play comes out on top anyways as theres always 1 guy that ships with all his pocket pairs.

kraemer · Jun 10, 2018

It‘s perfectly OK to never bluff... for your opponents!
If you only try winning pots with made hands you will
probably end up being a losing player...

Even at low stakes bluffing works very well if you play
a very tight game at First to create a table image that
increases the fold equity. And even if you get caught bluffing this can
Lead to getting paid with your ne t monster

Manifestor · Jun 10, 2018

No, sometimes it's worth bluffing, otherwise without bluffing you will be an easily read opponent.

The main difference between poker and many card games is that you can bluff with a weak hand and win
