How to spot a bluff playing online poker?

[Dejange]

I agree with some basics already shared above:
- Size of raise - everything out of standard size could be a bluff. Contrary - continuation bet could appear a Tripple Barrel in the end, and these are the most hard to dettect (usually happens when a crucial pot size is created on the table or near the bubble of MTT);
- Pot size - better not try to catch a bluff when it is matter of small pot size;
- Stack sizes - those with less BB's left are keen to shove with any speculative pocket hands;
- Pot cards - search for logic when the community cards appear on board. If A or K appears, then maybe the Villian's raise is not a bluff and we should carefully evaluate our chances to win that particular hand. Same appears if there is a pair on flop or 3 cards of same color.

Generally, I am observing carefully all stated above, in situations when I am considering to bluff

You have to pay attention to the table and thus know how your rivals play. But it's usually called bluffing when the bet implies that you don't want to pay.

You can spot a bluff by watching for signs like nervous behavior, inconsistent stories, or someone trying too hard to convince you. Trust your instincts if something feels off.

Can you

How do you spot a bluff??I don't think there is that one go to tell that shows you, I believe it's about the story your opponent is trying to tell, what he's representive. Blufffs are highly possible when there a lre missed flushes and missed straight draw

The opponent's actions are too fast and the raising frequency on the flop exceeds 20%.

Usually, loose or splashy competitors are just that, call them with one pair or better.
Tight players usually have a hand and seldom bluff.
Players online are less likely to be bluffing, so your bluff catchers won't hold up.

@kad222 wait for the moment and pushback all in, we lose small bet but win big bet

By spotting bluffs you mean knowing it is a bluff and not value is not easy. What you want to do to start is look for spots that could be bluff spots or value and then apply all the data you have to decide if your V have enough bluffs for you to call.

Why enough? If your V bluffs all -in on the river only 5% of the time and it is a pot or greater size then we do not have the pot odds to call. So, they get wo win. Which is fine.

If you V is bluffing 25% of the time or more or is so unskilled that their bluff rates in certain spots are over 50% of the time, then we want to call that player type.

A good study exercise is to look for bluff frequencies of a player pool using a hand tracker or by making notes ourselves

Generally the cebet is the first content that players study and it is one of the most profitable tools in poker (keep betting flop) pay attention to this point in relation to the player's position and the board and try to identify if it connects with your opponent and gain an advantage over i

For you to start identifying a bluff, you need to observe your poker opponent closely. I'm really bad at this myself, most of the time I take my chances.

Bluffs only works when you have more than enough chips then another player. I feel that I bust out to many times trying to steal in position with not enough chips to stay alive.

I think analyzing the player's moves and seeing how he plays is the only way to get an idea.
