Bluffing Strategy

How often do you bluff, and what’s your favorite spot to pull it off?

honestly, not as often as I should, but I love a good check-raise bluff on a dry flop when it feels like villain’s just c-betting air

check-raise on a dry board is so satisfying when it works, ngl. I try to save my bluffs for later streets where the story makes more sense tbh.

honestly, not as often as I should either, but I love picking off the small blind limp-fold spots when it just screams weakness

tbh I'm in the same boat, don't bluff enough. favorite spot is when the board pairs on the turn and I can rep trips against a capped range.

ngl, the board pairing turn is such a sneaky spot to rep trips, especially if they've been passive. I sleep on that one too much.

i feel you on the board pairing turn, that's a power move for sure. i always seem to pick the worst time to run a big bluff and just get snapped off by the nuts though lol

i had a hand last week where i fired three barrels with ace high on a wet board and somehow got a fold from a guy who tanked forever, felt like a genius for about five minutes til i punted it all back lol. it really does work best when their line just doesn't add up and youve got a decent read

Do you ever bluff just to set up a bigger bluff later in the session?

I rarely pull big bluffs but last week I fired on a jack high flop with 78 suited, turned a straight draw and kept barreling, river came an ace and my opponent folded queens face up.

i don't bluff often enough tbh, but when the board pairs on the turn and my opponent suddenly slows down i can't help myself from firing again

For me it's maybe once every two or three orbits, and it almost always involves a dry board where the texture just screams no one connected hard. I find the sweet spot is against players who bet small on the flop then check the turn, they're practically begging you to take the pot right there.

yesterday i jammed on a brick river with just king high and the guy folded after tanking for almost 4 minutes lol, and honestly i sweated so hard i couldn't even look at the screen

Bluff the turn when it pairs the board cheaaply

Floop bluffs rarely hit but turn barrels feel way safer

Honestly overrated against random stakes recs who never fold.

flipped it live at the final table on a Q high board last night and sitll feel that rush

yeah pulling it off when the board looks scary works

I feel like turn bluffs get way more credit than they deserve, most people just float too wide these days.

My favorite spot is check raising a dry flop after the cutoff opens, like on a K72 rainbow board. Did it last week and the guy tank folded a pocket pair face up, still not sure if I had the best hand or not.

i kinda only bluff when the board scrreams it and noone wants the pot

i 4bet jammed with 7 high on a paired board yesterday and the guy insta folded aces, still cant believe it worked

honestly not too often, maybe like 15% of hands in the right spots, i love when the turn pairs the board and they slow down on the flop just seems like everyone panics then. do you switch it up when you play live versus online or keep it the same?

i dont bluff much, honestly just the one big shove every few sessions when the board runs out 4 to a straight and nobody seems interested in the pot
