1.) On turn I answered that I would bluff
Villain was check calling and we have chance to hit highest pair on river. Only one thing which could go wrong is that we have only 1900 $ so bet should be at least 900.
2.) After bluff on the turn Ace and again check from opponent puts us in very good spot to shove 🤔 ??

Double up or end of turnament

Hi, nice topic about bluffing.
My answer to the quiz are.
1. In the turn the hero doesn’t bluff because the cards doesn’t favor to do bluff is very dry and the villain should be have pair, because he doesn’t protect his hand.
2. In the river yes is a good chance to bluff because the hero start the hand with aggressively and he should be bet.

Thanks for this course.

I think the bluff is in any corner of the table. You can bluff with the better hand, or with nothing, because you need to hide your big hand, this is all about bluff because we have something in poker: we dont want to bluff. I believe the best way to scape when the flop is not good is create speed a strategy from your information about the players and the hand you all are playing. When i say the best strategy, of course i say the best way to bluff.

How do I ensure that the betting pattern (bet size, street) I am using is consistent with the strong hands I would be value betting in that same situation?

Hello Poker Fans,

Bluffing is an aspect of my game that needs improving. I was happy to get the answers to the quiz correct but the question is; would I have the guts to pull the trigger and bluff in a tournament?!

This is something that I can be on the lookout for - spots to bluff. I do semi-bluff and c-bet a decent amount of the time with okay results. The challenge is to find the spot to bluff when the community has missed me completely. The consideration though, is the cards should be in my range or at least I can ride out a scare card and fire a bluff.

See you at the table.
