Does bluffing still work?

[Jean-Guy]

There are several types of bluffing. The most common, I guess, is the semibluff. But the pinnacle of bluffs is The Stone Cold Bluff where you barrel on all Streets with absolutely nothing. Even wilder if you have planned this bluff before you get your hole cards. If you are LAG this dangerous move is a part of your technique, not to be exaggerated though. There can even be future bluffing equity when the bluff is called. And some times you want the bluff to be called - a so called advertising bluff.
PS! It is off course easier for a TAG to
deploy a stone cold bluff. Even more easy for a NIT, but they never does it.

Working, but you need to remember that not always. In the beginning, there is no concept of a game in the freerorals. It is useless there.

Absolutely true. I should have mentioned above that I am thinking of shorthanded cash games.

Of course Bluffing still works. Bluffing will always work, unless players develop telepathy. If you don't C bet bluff or semi bluff at least sometimes per tournament you're not going to survive. Bluffing is vital, and an integral part of the playing the game successfully

I feel like you're confusing "Does my bluff work" with the question you should be asking yourself which is, "Is it profitable to bluff here"

A bluff isn't good based on whether or not it worked in a single spot, it's good if it's the highest EV decision with your range/combo.

Sometimes I bluff, and it's real. But the opponent has a bad hand and raises the bet..

I don't see anything much. You bluffed, he bluffed too. And may the river decide the winner.

I think the ideal is semi-bluff. Where you have one or maybe two draws open. Always look at your position and stack in relation to your opponent before bluffing as well.

Such situations do happen quite often. But the higher the buy-in in the tournament, the fewer bingo players there are and the better the bluff works. It all depends on which tournaments we are talking about. There is definitely no point in bluffing in freerolls

The success of a bluff also depends on the situation, and it will take a long time to determine what that situation is.

Yes, it is still feasible, sometimes it works, but it can also go wrong, it is good to take a risk once in a while

Bluffing works, but this tool is only suitable for experienced players. Bluffing does not work in freerolls. Bluff does not work in hyper tournaments. Bluff does not work in tournaments where the buy-in is less than $10.
Of course, there are exceptions, but they are rare.

It will always work, it all depends on you
