Do you feel a little embarrassed getting caught bluffing?

[linf]

Not. I think how it can be used in the future. Let everyone think that I bluff often

 

[suitedsadness]

I just tell them it was a nice call and bluff less if they hero called.

 

[franken222]

It's all part of the game, but honestly...YES, especially when I get caught with two totally stupid pocket cards.

I could just imagine the winner laughing.....that's what I do when I catch someone on a bluff.

Embarrassing.

 

[varadi sityu]

who doesn't bluff in poker I don't think I should play .... you have to bluff and you have to go to the final table and then you can win

 

[tomatientje]

I try not to, and a bad bluff called is good for confusing the follow software.

 

[ScottyDee]

No it is part of the strategy

 

[myquickwit]

Sometimes I won't bluff because of the fear of embarrassment or humiliation in getting caught. People thinking I made a bad play. Me thinking my bluff is dumb because I know he's a calling station. But I've not been quite as emotional about it later. If the spot makes sense and my bluff makes sense then I'm all for it. Especially when I have no showdown value.

 

[samir77]

I don't. I think getting caught sometimes gives an impression to other players that you are a loose player. It has happened to me quite a times. Sometimes I bluff small stakes just to show them I am a bluffer. This way, I win big pots when I have the good hands because players are not hesitant to put big stakes against a bluffer.

I played for chips and bluffed a lot and I liked it, but when I switched to real money I lost a lot because of my bluffing habit ... Now I don't bluff playing for real money.

 

[pepomjp]

Not embarrassed. Just is an opportunity to switch to rock mode. One of the skills in poker is not to be predictable. Cool down and play only strong hans for a while. Then when you win and showdown some hands you can bluff again.

Bluffing is all part of the game, there are times when you know you are beat, and the only way to win is to bluff, The best part is deciding whether to show these bluffs, or not.
It can be annoying to other players when you show, helps to put them on tilt, and sometimes will call a huge River bet the next time you are playing, thinking you are doing it again.
It can be a little embarrassing when they call one of your bluffs, but I laugh it off and make some remark like "Caught with my fingers in the Cookie jar" The regulars I play against know I sometimes try to steal blinds by raising with any two cards when I am on the button, but they also know, that sometimes I am holding a good hand and will call a re-raise, or all-in bet if pushed.
It keeps the game fun and enjoyable, and I never let it get to me when someone else does the same to me, you just have to accept it as all part of the game.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Ok but I'm cought too often, so how to know when you can bluff? Is aggresion depends on on balance of bets& checks?

 

[Luvepoker]

Never embarrassed, its part of the game to be honest.

 

[Rvstam]

no feelings at all

 

[dgroes]

weird i do.

 

[Baldy86]

haha yes a little

 

[alabos]

no.....its part of the game.........sometimes its work but sometime no....

 

[SubZero111]

I still get embarrassed sometimes when I get caught bluffing and its an emotion out of
my control. I try to realize that it doesn't matter two bits but my brain still gets a little sometimes. Although it is a lot less than it used to be. And I will keep working on it.

 

[Spielkind]

bluffing is a part of the Game---accept it and study

 

[forrow10]

I don't feel embarrassed when getting caught. But probably get angry if i played wrong with a very agressive bluff

 

[middle73]

I just sort of have a 'damn' reaction not really embarrassment

Beautifully said

 

[middle73]

Its good to be caught sometime. It will change your table image to players you play all the time. Keep up the good work and never stop bluffing its one of the fun things about poker!!!

I would say an integral part

 

[middle73]

Of course, bluffing is the highlight of poker.

 

[flattershay]

I feel angry at myself and sometimes dumb, especially if I'm bluffing against the wrong player.

 

[Random1609]

Bluff in poker is one of the main components of poker, but you need to be able to use it, know at what point and against which players it can be used and when it is not worth it.

 

[valanddon]

No bluffing is part of the game, and if you win the hand you can smile.
