For what its worth, I think people aren't commited enough to their bluffs.  Let me explain.  When I have decided to bluff at a pot on the turn and I get called, I am representing a certain hand that I am sure is a winner against whatever hand I have placed my opponent on through my read.  This may or may not be accurate or exact, but I am usually fairly confident in my read on someone at this point.

Having said that, if I don't chase them off after the flop, I will see the turn card and make another run at the pot.  I think, too often, people don't follow through on their bluff with another attempt at the pot.  For this to work, your read should be close to on, and the turn should have not helped whatever hand you placed them on.  If this is the case, I continue to represent the hand I bluffed with on the flop and shoot again.  I will even go to the river with a bluff provided that the final board card doesn't help the hand I have placed my opponent on.  If I am called down, I will muck and move on.  Sometimes taking one stab at the pot isn't enough to scare people off with mediocre hands, you have to get in there and push the action as if you have the nuts.  Don't just take one swing and give up, when you do that you're merely contributing to a pot you're giving to someone else.  Plays like this can ruin your table-image.
