I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.
Real life poker might be a better experience than online poker because you play in real life with real people and that's different from sitting in front of your desktop. I have played online poker many times and I still play it in local online casino and from my experience, it's very hard to bluff online because players sit and go very frequently, you can't also risk all-in frequently. I only found online poker good and easy to bluff when you play on tournaments where fixed number of players get the same number of chips in the beginning. This way, no one will come and leave the table like they do on open tables. Such a tournament makes it easier to bluff. Spin poker is also another good option.
The tournament format was my favorite when I played poker online, when you are playing a cash game, those that have a lot of money will always try to use that advantage and extract blinds this way, and with players coming and going, this makes it difficult to figure them out.

But when playing on the tournament format everyone begins with the same amount of chips, so it is easier to figure out the style of your opponents and then make plans to counter them, which can give you a small edge if you make it far into the tournament.
