when you see weak players at the table I think it depends on your position of your chips from your opponents there are many influential factors but I think the most necessary are weak players or both risky and conservative luck and greetings:confused:

yes I bluff at the beginning and the middle of a tournament. I always take into account the reputation I am enjoying at the table of my position which must be as close as possible to the button.
As well as the amount of chips I have. I always try to bluff before the bubble but without taking too much risk. For me, bluffing is a ladder.

I like the bluff reception.
but I will not do this if I play at once against two or more opponents.

never bluff on microlimits, fish only sees his pair of 22 on board AKQJ7, ​​and very rarely fold, but understanding players will fold and at a distance it is profitable, but of course much depends on the image at the table and the specific situation

I bluff rarely, cause whenever i bluff somebody calls no matter if simple raise or allin. I hate bluffs, sometimes i lose great chances cause of it. In games without money i probably bluff more than im real money games.

The bluff is part of any poker game. One hour or another you have to bluff. And you must do without fear and know that it will not always work.

I'm bluffing and often on the bubble due to the fact that many are afraid of flight before the prizes. But before making a bluff is necessary to assess the enemy the way he plays and how often it does count on this type of situation

in order to make a bluff, it is necessary to evaluate the structure of the board, the number of opponents and information about them

Bluff is a part of poker skill, if you want to play poker well, you need to learn how to bluff.

All-in preflop & all-in after river is one kind of bluff that always happen at table.
But i am seldom to use it, for i know it's more risky.

So there is a lot of situations its ok to bluff online. In fact its pretty imperative in tournaments unless your just running good. In situations like where you miss a big draw, by bluffing, you help balance out your EV a bit in these. You turn a situation where you would normally be losing 100% of the time into a situation where you just won a pot that you wouldnt have won normally.

Now you dont just go out and start bluffing your missed draws, thats not what I am implying but you need to read the board texture, the opponents hand, and if you feel he has a weaker hand that you can get him to fold, than firing off a bluff on the river can be a +EV play.

you have to know your table too, too many online fish call anything with anything for anything.

Bluffing at low limits is futile.
You can only bluff against players who are capable of folding.
At low limits most people only see the cards in front of them and they will call you when weak, but if you have a pure bluff there weak hand will beat your trash.

Rarely- pick your spots when opponent shows weakness. That being said, I've lost more bluffing than any other way.

It depends on the tournament and the situation. But I usually bluff a lot in late stages or when I'm big stack. Everyone has ever bluffed

Online bluffing is so much easier because they cant see any facial reactions.

I definitely bluff in online poker, I think it's essential if you want any chance of winning. However I bluff carefully : c-betting flops that could have hit my range or missed my opponent's range; semi-bluffing when I think I might have the best hand and am definitely drawing to the best hand; reacting to displays of weakness and so on. It's important to remember your bluffs should make sense within the story you've told so far. For a very basic example if you raised large pre-flop it would be hard for your opponent to believe you had 2 small cards to a straight if you tried to represent that later in the hand.

When it comes to online play. I don't even consider it "bluffing" so to speak. Its more about a few key points....

What is Vil range based off position?
What is my pervasived range based off position?
How well did this board hit my range, compared to Vil range, and can i improve?
How well did this board actually hit my holdings?

If I'm green in at least 2 out of the 4 key marks I'm betting. something else that works really well is Categorizing your hands....

C1 being good hands, almost the nuts, or very good against Vil range.
C2 being good hands but not the best.
C3 good drawing hands, might not be good now, but you have good odds to hit something really strong.
C4 complete air....

if your are betting with your C1, and C3 hands while check calling with your C2 Hands, and Check folding C4 hands.... This makes your game much more balanced, and unexceptionable. Doing this, and not thinking about "bluffs" so to speak you allow yourself to pick up a lot more pots if you have it or not.

Yes, i do bluff in online poker but not always. I depend on a very simple principle to determine when to bluff and when not to bluff.

If i can miss the flop then my opponent can also miss it. A possibility which can't be ignored. And that is the basis of my bluffing. And i think that is the perfect situation for bluffing.

The difficult part is to understand if my opponent really missed the flop or not. If i am convinced that he missed then no doubt i will go for the bluff.

I play 4NLHE and I bluff between probably about once an orbit to once per two orbits. Usually do not get called on it, I guess because I've integrated how too do it meaningfully, which is to say how to represent certain cards. For example, bet on scare cards. Don't hesitate, as if you're excited to call or raise. Pick your opponents carefully, fish are more susceptible.

Of course I do, whenever I get a chance! It depends on the situation, but I believe every single player bluffs from time to time. I come to think that people bluff even more while playing online, than playing live! :)

I bluff in online poker depend on the villain style, no really times during a session, but it's true that no bluff no chip.

The best bluff time is also depend on villains style. Maybe facing nits you can offten bluff.

Good luck.
