Continued from yesterday…
D. Against lots of players.
Chances are that someone has something that they’ll stick with. By
bluffing in this situation, you just become an agent of that player.
From an odds perspective, this is never worth it.
E. Against bad players.
As much as they love to bluff, they love to catch someone in a
bluff. They’re much more likely to “keep you honest” because they
don’t realize what a money-loser that is. It’s much more profitable
to play straight up in these games. Bluffing is only effective from a
“fear” perspective in this case.
F. You just lost a big hand.
Not only might you be on a bad run, but other players will expect
you to be on a bad run, and will more readily call you.
g. You are in a blind position.
You really have to evaluate the flop, but generally other players
will think you have a poor hand and expect you to bluff.
