10 thoughts on “2 TIPS On When To BLUFF In Poker!”

1. Do you think you bluff too much, too little or the perfect amount? 🤑

2. It feels if we blast Qj os. We are bluffing way too much. Love the concept of betting huge. I would have bet flop if I did have backdoor and turn when it was a spade and than going all in with all blank rivers

   Wait. We have cutshot on flop:) than I bet 2-3 flop 2/3 turn and pot river

6. I have recently become successful at 12n zoom on ACR. I find the best spots to bluff are when the opponent's range is wide, early in the hand, (depending on position and player stats.) In my particular pool it is not a good idea to make big bluffs into big pots reasoning that the opponent is 'capped.' Sometimes the opponent is sitting on the nuts, and sometimes the opponent has no intention of folding. Either way, his range is either too strong or too sticky, and this is because the pot is already large. In other words, the parts of his range that he intended to fold, he would usually have folded to the turn barrel (especially turn overbets,) the calling of which made the pot large. Another way of saying this is that the pool is nitty and fishy. Nits have it and fish don't fold.

   Third way of saying it is that the point in the hand at which the pool starts to play straightforwardly is the turn. They simply don't have the nerve to float turns with the intention of piling it on the river, and they largely don't have the discipline to fold to river barrels after calling turns with bluff catchers. He called the turn because he concluded that you were bluffing. Your river bet doesn't change that. He is not taking a range of bluff catchers to the turn with the intention of folding some sub-set of them to river shells.

   You need, in general, to identify the point in the hand where your opponent will shed most of his range, and then bluff him to that point but then shut down, because if you are right, then his range is just too strong, it doesn't matter what equity you have or what blockers you have or what you would have to be bluffing with to be balanced.

   Another exploit you can use against players who don't have a lot of hands against you is — if you do want to bluff rivers — to bluff the river for pot when you don't have it and shove the river for value for 2x pot when you do have it. Both bets look equally scary, and again, few of the fishy, nitty players will think to themselves "I need to defend X% of the time to this huge bet and Y% to this pot-sized bet, so I would pay this off if it were only for pot." Rather, they just think "he's polarized." And then call if they think you have air. This is obviously super-exploitable, so you don't want to do it twice to the same guy in the same month. But 40bb is 40bb.

7. if up against qj no value on river unless hit king or gutter so I'd say it's a good triple barrel spot big John boy you know sunshine ☀️

8. In the second hand, if we’re only full potting the flop with draws and made hands, how does the Q on the turn likely help us unless we hold exactly QQ. The hands you mentioned we could have are not consistent with the full pot flop bet…

9. This might work at 5-10 but at 1/2 1/3 people aren’t thinking in ranges it’s hey know is 2 paint so it’s a premium and they only worried about hitting flop and getting sticky with 2nd pair

10. Have you ever considered meetup games?
