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?
If playing poker only with a dealer I think the "bluffing" strategy is not the right thing. But to play with a lot of people at one table, "bluffing" might be a strategy that might work if you believe their cards are not as good as you imagine.
Bluffing is the SHOULD be one of the ways you play in Poker.
Without it there isn't a more chance for you to win vs others who will just try it on.
Consider it as a PLUS when you really need it to.
