Do you feel a little embarrassed getting caught bluffing?

[lewis99]

gday all..no never embarressed.....bluffing is part of poker..sometimes u have to be caught to keep everyone honest...have a laugh or smile,then say maybe next time...lol...

It may cause an awkward moment, but there is also a positive side - later one might think you are bluffing, but you are actually not

it doesn't give me any feeling, it's part of the game, bluffing is essential to win chips,the ideal is never to be caught but it is impossible, so it does not cause me any feeling

No, in fact there are times when I will bluff hoping to get caught. Knowing that you are capable of show up in spots with hands that you weren't expected to show up with. Can make it much harder for your opponents to range your hand. Also you're opponent knowing that you are willing to bluff at times could lead them into making the wrong calls in some pots

Also, it’s coudos to those that catch you for making the right call. Bluffing can be used to find out information as well. If you are willing to pay that price for the hand you have, it might safe having to make a big call later.

All part of the game, I'm more annoyed that I lost a few chips rather than embaressed

 

[Herkstwin]

No embarrassment for me. When I bluff I hope my opponents will go away, but I know there is always the chance they will call, or even raise.
Bluffing is a part of my game that I am working on improving.

In my home game (which will resume once Covid-19 is under control), I am known as a tight player. Getting caught bluffing in the home game is good for my image,

But if you're known as a tight player, how is it good for your image to be caught bluffing? I'd think it'd be the opposite.... they see you as a tight player making it possible to get more bluffs through.

I see your point and I do get bluffs through because of my tight image. Still, when I do sometimes play outside of a tight player range and get caught, it causes confusion. "What are you doing playing those crappy cards.?" Then it is back to being tight and sometimes bluffing when I do not catch my cards.

No, it is a skill of poker. A honest guy is not a good poker player.

 

[davidsincara]

[gabryyyel31]

[Play8110]

Answer

Yes I do lol definitely when they have a great hand and I have nothing lmao.

 

[kaktus56rus]

kaktus

yes.and so I prefer to play only with a good card

 

[tamara822]

When I started playing poker, I thought it was a shame if they caught you bluffing. But I was a beginner then and I didn’t know it was one of the strategies in poker. With further playing and progress in the game, I understood that it was acceptable. And not only acceptable, but also necessary and normal. Today I know it's part of the game.

 

[JoseFerreras]

I dont get embarrassed unless they catch me bluffing with a hero call or the make a great read and call me down.

 

[Shrops]

No

No, I don't feel that way after a failed bluff. My goal is to try and win the pot.

 

[gallocobain]

I don't because is part of the game! Poker face

 

[david1bear]

Why get embarrassed ? It is the game :O) I just giggle and be like ah you got me.

 

[steveo2003]

Never ....Use it as a set up for a nice pot!!!

 

[atcj13]

Only if the person I tried to bluff is a station.

 

[fruittree]

Never..../part of the game. Wish we could steal the deck

 

[jovan123]

In the begging in the first few attempts lol ...that is what I called attempts I was a bit embarrassed especially since the bluffs weren't even that good or let me rephrase they weren't really believable now that I think back...but nowadays I play with alot of the same guys on a daily basis so its usually just a good laugh now...that is depending on how much I'm about to bluff off lol

 

[Benkisto_BR]

To tell you the truth, I'm not ashamed. I believe in the hands in which I bluff so much that I think the opponent won by luck.
