Some boards just scream aggression — I like bluffing on ace high flops. What textures give you the confidence to display strength?

This answer shouldn't be limited to what the flop looks like. If you are only playing the cards in front of you to decide when to bluff, you will be a losing player in the long run. Decisions to bluff depend on who your opponents are; what position they are in; how tall their stack(s) are, and what your image is at the table. If you hit an ace high flop against an UTG raiser who has a TAG image, what happens when you bluff and they call you? Do you stay with the bluff? I'd say ace high flops in that scenerio aren't good to bluff on - but if that same UTG raiser raises and the flop comes Eight high with two suits, yes, then you can think about bluffing here.

It depends on the previous action, if I bet 2bb and the other person only pays and some high card appears like A, K, Q, I like to bet, most of the time they will fold, or at least that's what I do, if they don't fold I bet again on the turn
It also depends a lot on what the player has done before, I have seen players who pay recurrently with nothing, those are the ones I bet the most
