Bluffing in cash game

[zipocool]

bluffing is an integral part of poker but when you bluff your line should be convincing) on ​​the flop and turn it is better to use a semi-bluff with the possibility of strengthening our hand and use a bluff already on the river if it makes sense when evaluating the opponent's hand

 

[ObiwanJ]

You gotta bluff, but when depends on position and how people are playing. I wont bluff the fish for instance

 

[thesternburglar]

Bluff on the big blind when it is only you and the little who limped in. Pay attention to them in other hands to see if they are a tight player. If they are then raising to 2.5 to 3 BB when they limp in is usually enough to get them out.

Without bluffing it is impossible to be profitable in poker, be it cash game or MTT, but beware, you have to know how to bluff, otherwise it would not be profitable either

Yes, and it is one of the rules of the game, but it must be a double-edged sword

I do bluff quite a lot. I don't when I have showdown value, I'll tend to play agro or passive depending on position and if I want a big or small pot. When villain shows weakness and I don't have sd value, I'll bluff mostly always, just the same as if I would value my hand. I would fold re-raises. When I get re-reraised often, I'll prepare a trap when I get a good hand, where I'll 3bet the street.
Big pots are so dangerous, and in small stacks where I do play, agro players tend to do not fold. I've been doing a lot of this msitake trying to bluff big pots with a high bet, which cost me a lot recently. I think that one must bluff not to win the pots when you bluff, but when you do raise when you have the nuts you get called, s you've been caught bluffing. Really not easy to do.

You can never lose if the opponents fold.

It depends on how i feel in the table, some days you just can't get it right, those days i hold my horses and avoid bluffing. In other occasions when i feel a good vibe i do bluff quite a lot.

Bluffing is my job, but not always

 

[Jwl8092]

I dont bluff too often at cash, but Its really based on the opponent and what my hand blocks. I had a good bluff in a $150 pot where I had AdiQ and board hit river di. Guy said, flush.. and tossed his hand, as I was folding I put the Adi on bottom and mucked so he could see the ace, to make him feel good about the fold. This helped later on a semi bluff. But you gotta know your table.

I definitely have to improve on my bluffing, mostly on the amount.

But i do find some good moments to bluff and get a fat pot.
What keeps me from gaining fat pots is poor game reading.

i play a tighter game, but bluffing is part of the equation.

 

[afecho]

I am not a good bluffer so I don't even try anymore.

 

[Ac3 Meister]

Never a good idea. When the real sharks spot the fish, you will gt eaten fast.

 

[PLAYFUL1]

Yah no bluffing in big cash games only if you have alot of chips or your the chip leader

 

[kanycta99]

bluffing is better in tournaments.

 

[Canwai]

I don't know how to play cash games, so I don't risk.

 

[fruittree]

Bluffing is situational. But it is a major part of the game. But not over doing it is the key

 

[hubcio96]

bluff only with money you are OK losing, without getting tilted.

 

[Lenka65]

bluff

I don't play cash games, but I enjoy bluffing tournaments.

 

[theStarfish]

It depends on the situation as always but if I think, there is a chance to win with a bluff, of course I would try.

 

[LetterRip]

Do you use bluff in cash game in big pots

Absolutely, but it is player dependent. Some people will always hero call in a big pot even though they 'know they are beat', so you don't want to bluff them, just value bet.

Others will fold everytime if a scare card hits, and complain about 'being out drawn'.

With a good board texture that I can represent a good story, I'm almost always going to bet, especially if I have blockers to their autocall hands, and unblock their autofolds.

With a bad board texture I will tend to give up unless they overfold way too much.

bluff is the most important poker game. you don't need to be able to bluff.

 

[darkvick]

if you don't bluff in cash games you're playing wrong. and if you have never caught bluff you're not bluffing enough

I think that whatever the game you have to bluff.
Talking GTO, in every spot we have bluffs and value so its important to balance in every situation.
