My opinion

To tell you the truth its better to lose five bucks then find five bucks like the article said when the population going up too much. The ozone can't keep up with the co2 deposits. And a lot of kids can't even drive yet. Now not to mention where they going to get the fuel and should they consume that much now. The people that have to fly could live longer. One of the reasons we don't have an oil embargo is cause more fly and the car fuel needs to be used up. As far as bluffing, It is good to bluff when the blinds are up and you play conservative. They think you have a hand. Another tactic I like to use is the calling of cards. They know your good at calling the cards so you get a set up where it seems like you should call the cards but really it isn't do. I call it a shark bet. Then there's the dog bet he wants the odds in his favor. Yeah mans best friend deserves that. The cat just plays her cards. Oh you beat that huh. I suppose.
 
according to the mood and the bet, it depends how important the game is for me, but if there are more money then the fear is bigger

To call the bluff of not necessary, but if there is a risk to lose all, better not to risk it, you need to wait a moment and punish the fish.
 
No, it's part of poker. You have to know when and how to do it simply. Sometimes it is necessary and sometimes it is unnecessary.

Regards.
 
Sometimes when you are in playing in a big tournament with lots of prizes and it can be scary to bluff in big pots. I am usually not afraid tho
 
Bluffing

There is a certain rate of bluffing that you need to make in order to be successful. But for me, it can be difficult to get the situations right. Maybe I am having trouble with loss aversion. I do know that typically when someone experiences something they feel as bad, it usually sticks in their mind more. That could be part of it. But I also think I do not have as much skill with putting myself in situations where it makes sense to bluff.
 
I'm not afraid of bluffing, but bluffing can be exhilarating and controlling that emotion live is also very key to pulling off a successful bluff. So it's not just fear you have to overcome.
 
I hope that i stop bluffing in the futur,it cost me To much. ..!
 
Sometimes

A bluff is a bit scary when a decent amount of money is on the line. Especially if you use the rest of your stack. It's not so bad when you only need to risk a smaller amount of chips, like when you know that your opponent likey has next to nothing
 
whether it be freerolls or actual buy ins I find I get more and more nervous as it gets closer to the money.. I've found myself knowing I have a good bluff spot and the having my nerve fail me.... Only to realize after the hand is over it's a freeroll and it's not like I am poor. Honestly I laughed at myself, stood up walked around the room calling myself names.. then back to the grind. I do have to force myself to do it though.. Sure is easier to bet those pocket aces..
 
To tell you the truth : My heart beats faster than the normal.I´m afraid of bluffing for sure.
 
If you do not know how to use a bluff, then you better not use it. I rarely bluff. Mostly bluffing leads to loss of chips.
 
When I first started playing poker I tended to concentrate on bluffing too much. Bluffing is so integral to poker that I saw the necessity of mastering the Big Bluff. But I play at low stakes where players tend to call too often with 3rd and 4th pair. To get the villain off the hand requires putting too much money in the pot. As someone mentioned before in this thread, you need a bluff to be EV+.

So I've learned to fall out of love with bluffing but still look for credible board textures combined with the ability to "read" my opponent's playing style before making the bluff. But I don't really have too many bluffs in my arsenal right now. I use bluffs more in short tables and heads-up situations.

Bluffing is really a component of range analysis imho. Once you can successfully put the villain on a range, you can then decide on what bluffing opportunities arise so long as your previous action preflop, flop, turn and river makes sense. A bluff is a story as much as a mathematical calculation. Poker psychology becomes a predominant consideration. Thus, there is an art to bluffing.
 
It can be hard to pull the trigger at times, sometimes i just do it cause i know i have to... and other times i try and talk myself out of it.. its always fun tho in the end! It's fun when they hero sometimes also i respect it.
 
I'm not afraid of bluffing, and more often I just open it)!!!and also all depends on the opponent),control Desk and a little luck!
 
Never afraid in the game! Sometimes I'm just afraid only of my mind! :bike::ciao::banghead::icon_bril:afraid::viking:
 
I do not know, sometimes I feel that there are people who can smell the bluff, or maybe they are supported by some external software. Be that as it may, at times when I have nothing left but to be a coward and protect my chips
 
bluffing once you start a hand that you intend to bluff, you have to go all the way, unless the other person goes all in. you have to figure out if they are bluffing or got you beat. that's poker.
 
Yes, sometimes I am afraid. But I think it's because I'm not a high level player and I'm not always sure if there is a good moment for bluff.

don't be afraid to bluff, use position and how the person you are bluffing plays. Also depends what is on board and how to bluff.
 
I'm not afraid of bluffing, I'm afraid of calling my bluff!
