Good answers on the line already, but I'm interested in the phrasing you used here.

Especially bluff/exploit. I don't know if you intended it this way, but it seems that you think that you need some exploitable read to commit on a bluff. In fact, the exact opposite is true. Bluffing is part of every equilibrium strategy, and not bluffing enough can be is a huge leak.

For me, it helps to identify the value and bluff combo's in my range when doing hand analysis in an attempt to construct an equilibrium strategy, then test my solution with solver output, and then make exploitative adjustments. Against some players that means you indeed almost never bluff or bluff more for exploitative reasons. First identifying some equilibrium baseline is important though in my experience. It allows you to be flexible against all types of opponents and fundamentally sound against other regs.

EDIT: starting to go through this process during hand analysis later allows you to do it (or estimate it) in real time at the table.

So what I'm trying to say is, bluffing is part of an unexploitable strategy, and not pulling the trigger on a bluff because you don't have a read is almost always bad.
