Every player has tried that bluff that makes the heart race. Sometimes it works and we feel like a genius... other times, it sucks and the whole table sees. 😂

What was the boldest or most creative bluff you've ever tried?
Tell me how the move went, whether it stuck (or not) and what you learned with it!

The biggest bluffs are in big pots, like betting on 3 streets, but in general we should always bluff with hands that have to be bluffed, and not invent bluffs. I've seen many cases of insane bluffs where the guy has total air, bets as if he had a very strong hand, and when it comes to showdown he has a bizarre hand that shouldn't be in his range, and that has no interaction with the board or blocks. At that moment, when they pass the bluff, they feel like true geniuses, but they are true givers, because they will only remember the hands they pass but will forget the ones they lose, which will be the vast majority.

villain opens big, i defend with 33s
flop comes k22
i know that this player likes to force the action and is not used to people betting into him...so i make like im happy with the flop and make a big bet
he wonders out loud why such a big bet maybe 3/4 of the pop
i say in case you think you are going to get lucky
he ponders for about 3 mins then folds 77s face up

i chuckle to myself then tell him thanks for folding.

I always bluff and I always get called. Especially by Ukrainians. I don't know why that happens. :LOL: But I think I do. Because I'm a fish and readable like a Hemingway book. So I can't write my best bluff since I don't bluff anymore. :ROFLMAO:
