Re: What is better in poker: bluffing or playing only with good cards?
I've been watching some poker tournaments with Antonius, Negreanu and Cates lately. Most of the time the person with better combination actually wins, but there occur some great bluffs from time to time as well. Do you think it is better to fold if you don't have at least one high card in a pair or two cards of the same suit? Is it worth to try out overbetting tricks when you really have shitty cards? When I tried playing poker, overbetting usually made me fold, because it is a hard psychological attack for me and I am not the kind of a person that is willing to risk a lot. But I am bad at poker. What is your opinion on this matter?
Those are pro, they can bluff and win the pot and I have seen Negreanu doing it, as he is good in reading the opponents cards as well and can see it they are bluffing or not. For me you can try it for sometime and see how good you are at bluffing others.
. But for those casuals like us, much better to take it easy and fold if you don't have a good card and hope that you will get a good one on the next deal.
