It's kind of understandable why it's a lot easier to bluff in online since there's a lot less pressure due to the fact that you're actually playing online, instead of f2f with someone. If you aren't someone used to seeing a person look at you face to face in a tense situation, then I wouldn't consider it weird that you're having a hard time bluffing.
When we talk about bluffing, some people can hide their expression and calm down, no matter their situations, because they learn about how the human body can show their expression at that time. They do not need to wear black sunglasses to hide their eyes because they are experts hiding that. But in online poker, you will not feel easier to bluff them by using your money because we do not see how their expression is, and that is difficult to predict their card.

This is one area that I feel like I am very good at.  It took some time playing poker to be able to learn how to be good at bluffing and keep a straight face but eventually I sort of got in to this mode where I would just stare straight at the cards, never really looking at anyone else, and I made sure to always do this every time that I was in a battle with other players.  I think one of the main things is consistency as to make sure you're not giving yourself up by doing some sort of habit.

Consistency with a strategy that you created to enhance your chance to win, if you continue to work with your emotions this kind of strategy will really help you to avoid being read by your opponents, Poker players have their own style of playing some are kept on changing their mode or keep on swinging every facial expressions to try intimidating their opponents.

Some are straight and not show any emotions. Most of the time, those who have a poker face got the edge. They read and observe if how everyone from table acts and try to anticipate without showing anything from their expressions.

Strategy is a must in terms of playing poker, but it is also quite important to develop one's logic and mathematical skills to predict and read the movements of your opponent. Having a poker face or to intimidate your opponent is also a skill must have, it's also a battle of emotions no matter what hand you have. You must certainly deal with it intuitively to make money out of poker.

Learning about consistency is not easy and need practice longer than we can expect but still, that is worth trying so we can become a player who has a fake face in front of our opponent. Besides learning about consistency, maybe we need to learn about controlling the emotion because when we get bad cards, our face or body language can change and that can be a clue for the opponent what we already have.

Poker is a unique gambling game because we need to master controlling the emotion, knowing how to use the innocent face so the opponent can not identify our card. That is why not many people can become pro poker players because they need to learn many things before improving their skills in a poker game.

Seen some poker players to that, it must take a lot of time and practice to master the skills, the gambler has to have high risk intelligence before taking the bets. If it's just investing in altcoins, you can just invest in funds you can afford to lose. With Hero call, you are about to lose it all.

How does one respond to the uncertainty as to whether he'd do a call or not?  Having cards with a high chance of winning too I guess.

I agree that the biggest problem of China is the local governments debt,not Evergrande.
However,I think that the central government of China and the PBOC have enough reserves to support the local governments to pay their debts,at least for a while.The reserves aren't that big,the huge crisis with come,when China runs out of it's foreign currency reserves.AFAIK,China owns lots of US government bonds.
They could sell the US bonds and get some cash in order to pay off the debts of the provinces.
The economic growth of China seems like a bubble that will pop some day.I'm sure that the new Great Depression will begin from China,not from the USA.

His way of seeing it pleases me and has a great point, sometimes I think that everything lies in the simple fact that in China they do not accept the fact that a hegemony of the dollar is still maintained, since the Second World War, this has been dominating, And from anywhere in the world, even if a currency has much value even more than the dollar, people prefer to have dollars even though if we compare it with the EUR it has less value, but it is what finance, business, everything prefer in Based on the dollar, I think for that reason it is the heart of everything, it may not be the corresponding reason, but it has a great weight.

@Smartprofit "...To play poker successfully, you need to live a certain lifestyle..."  Source Post.

The situation added there by the guy with a 4 in his nick is as it is, in fact and it is not good to say it but it is a truth in the history of poker and although extreme it is responds to your appreciation of the ideal of the lifestyle that you mention.

Poker can f`k** depending on your lifestyle but there is no standard in the logic of the outcome of the game that defines it like that, it all comes down to the two cards you receive.

The history of the game has a "Mr." who is not only a legend just because of his name, he is also a legend for developing a style of play, for being one of the first winners of a million dollars, for having won 10 bracelets, for countless statistics. and stories, but is the longest-lived and most successful player in the history of poker, Mr. Doyle Brunson spent more than 50 years playing poker at the highest level, he retired just a couple of years ago, without alcohol or drug problems and even an example of how you can play poker for many years and end up doing well.

That guy said that one of the best players he had ever met was Bill Smith who by the way won the main event of the 1985 WSOP, if you like poker you know that it is the maximum tournament that any professional player does want to win.

Doyle Brunson said that when Bill Smith to play having a drink of whiskey he did not lose he was always the best player at the table, on the other hand and against position when he spoke of Stu Ungar a genius of poker but destroyed by the drugs because of the same success he mentioned that he was the guy who when he played healthy was the best player in NLH so his skill in the game was unbeatable when he was healthy, in fact in his last main event that he won before dying he had detoxified just to play maint event, but ironically he dies a few weeks later when he was already rehabilitated, so many years fucking your body with drugs pass bills.

Man, I support healthy mind healthy life, of course, it is the way for any activity in our lives, I repeat again healthy mind healthy life. The previous examples are only contrasted to show that not everything you read is true, there are exceptions to it.

A person may initially have a very large supply of health.  There are also people with a very balanced mental system.  This is not their merit.  They were born that way.  They have such genetics. 

However, if this is not the case, then you need to adhere to a certain regimen (sleep, sports, healthy eating). 

In addition, your attitude to the game matters.  A healthy fanaticism is needed here.  A good poker player should know everything about the intricacies of this game.  He must constantly think about her.  Even when he's not playing poker.  This is true not only for poker.  In general, for any field of activity. 

But for poker, this is as relevant as possible. 

In poker, a minority of the best and most motivated players wins.  The rest of the players systematically lose.

I'm not trying to be against what you say but in this new post you say things that interwoven read very beautifully, in fact I share some, but in the whole of the message, no.

A few days ago in another related post someone commented that he was a loser and like you generalized in that sense, in poker when you play for profit if you are a winner1 several times, it is the icing on the cake.

The great secret to keep playing for many years, is to understand the management of your bankroll, then understand that in poker you lose systematically, so you understand at the end of the day what matters is to have a green ROI and that is achieved even having a bad day. Or better to say losing.

(1) In poker ITM is used to know how things are going (MTT, Sit & Go), but in the long run it can only be a reference to your cash, but even having a remarkable ITM you can be in losses, because or not you are literal a winner, that is, you do not win tournaments and failing that, you do not enter the Top 3.

Being a literal winner in the case of tournaments, making Top 1 (or at least Top3) is sometimes impossible, depending on the traffic of players that a certain tournament has and then you must classify the tournaments by the registration of players.

The question is very easy to explain, the more players a poker tournament has, the greater the variance, consequently your odds decrease and in that sense any player who pays a buyin can win any tournament.

For example, it is said in this sense that anyone can win a WSop bracelet but winning two makes you enter a select group, more than three you become a legend. The rest good or bad players try systematically.
__
__
Now there are other types of games such as sit & go or cash tables, there things may have certain differences but the objective in the ROI is the same.

That if the essential thing is always a good bankroll to return tomorrow for another game then that way you learn to have the balls to call an allin of thousands of dollars or in the case of tournaments to call on the river when you are at risk. to get out of a tournament.

Poker is not considered a traditional activity and the most relevant thing for poker is always having a great desire to play.  Smiley

I wonder if you understand the relationship of everything that you have listed?

I don't wonder, on the contrary. It's rather clear to me that you have not understood anything I have said, that you have no idea about the history of poker or the poker world, and that the following things you have said are nothing but nonsense:

All these statistics grinder software users who flooded all poker rooms eventually ate themselves. It makes no sense for an ordinary player to play online, since there are these users at each table and he initially has less chances against them, as a result, such a user stops playing online. As a result, poker came to the position in which it is now - the golden years are behind and there are very few chances for the revival of the former interest, and taking into account how quickly the bots are progressing, in the future everything will be even worse.

I have you on ignore, probably because of the nonsense you say, and I only saw your quote because someone else quoted you, which is why I stopped to answer you such nonsense, but you don't need to try very hard, I'm not going to waste any more time with you.

"I ignore you, but I will answer you, I will definitely tell you that I ignore you." Classic  Grin
I don’t know what triggered such an emotional reaction in you, maybe we have different ideas about poker and its history (after all, everyone has different subjective experiences), but usually people discuss it and not get hysterical. Maybe you should take someone else's opinion more calmly, take some pills, idk.

Bluffing online is only about the money you bet while bluffing in a real casino in front of real people is about your facial expression and the money you'll call or you'll bet. If you'll notice, some of professional poker players often wearing sunglasses to hide their eyes, because eyes is the one that could tell someone what do you feel in a certain situation, so they hide it.

Bluffing is indeed a risky move, and not profitable as always.
^ I don't know how to bluff online and I don't think betting a large amount could be a way that you can bluff them.
In a real casino, bluffing is normal and often to happen but only those professionals who will always do this, I remember watching a movie with a poker concept, they are very smart reading their opponent's mind. And you are talking about sunglasses, is this allowed in a poker room in a real casino? Because we don't know if the one who wears sunglasses will probably be a cheater too. Nevertheless, it is totally different to play online than a real poker casino.

With the kind of poker player we are talking about, it is either you will fold because he/she is obviously having a hand stronger than yours or you will bluff your way to win. Depending on the cards on the table, you will weigh your possibility of bluffing. You might want to try test the waters first and raise a good amount, but not that big. If this predictable opponent of yours calls easily, then begin to consider he/she is confident enough with his/her hand and that your bluff will only make him/her win big.
Basically, getting to know each other with a few cards here and there? Well, it is basic for someone to actually identify what players he's playing with first and foremost before doing something big. If you don't, well, you're quite the daredevil. Though I guess if you just entered mid game you can guess just based on the number of chips one has whether the player is good or not, though the strategy to deal with them would still have to wait for 2-3 rounds.

Which simply means the odds for playing poker is still against the players no matter how skilled you are. Remember that the gambling companies are out to make profit and that will only come from players that loses their games against the Odds of the house. Good to know that you later accept the fact that no matter how skilled you are your winning is not guaranteed.
At least you can increase your chances of winning if your opponents are real players than if you will against the house edge which is pure luck.
Skilled players can bluff to their opponent, using wise strategies that can be used in order to give a wrong impression and not to be bluffed by them.

If we talked about skilled poker players, all I can say is they have an advantage over the normal ones. So I don't think so the chances of winning will not increase if you are a more experience and skilled poker player, there is a high potential that you can read what card in your opponent is.
Absolutely correct, skillful use of strategy cards will make it easier to win along with the right instructions for playing poker you can easily play poker from other players. A strategy card will show you the right way in which you are handled following the card advice will hold hands that offer you the highest possible return.

No, don't leave the table. If your opponents are like that, it means they are predictable. You can easily read their plays if they are always staying safe. They won't raise if they got a bad hand, for example, so you need to stay away once they start raising bigger amounts.

These are also the kind of players you can easily bluff in poker. You put a good raise and they will fold immediately. If you think you have the stronger hand, you can also easily catch them by simply calling every time they raise and then raise or even all-in in your last bet. They'll either be scared or they'll fight their weaker hand.
Fair enough but wouldn't that mean you wouldn't really get anything if they have a good hand and start moving accordingly? Though I'd guess that you can profit off of a chance if you both have good hands, and it would all fall down to who actually has the better hand. Though it would probably take quite a bit of time then for things to actually get moving no?

Bluff is a risky move, you normally have to take it a bit out of the comfort zone to actually make it believable and, guess what, by that time is effectively... out of your comfort zone. However, there is a perfectly valid point for a bluff from time to time, since someone that does not bluff consistently is also far too predictable and himself subject to someone bluffing.

Bluffing is indeed a risky move. And it is a world harder to execute smoothly in a poker game against real people in front of you than against online opponents. Bluffing makes me really uncomfortable and I know that a professional poker player could easily read my expressions and gestures every time I lie, which is basically what a bluff is all about. But, like you said, you kind of need to do it once in a while. You've got to shift strategies from time to time in poker.

Perfect bluffing needs a lot of practice. But I think I can easily pull off a nice bluff in an online poker game.

Poker is not really a game of chance.  This is a game in which the player with certain skills wins.  Poker masquerades as gambling, but the best poker players are calm and cold-blooded people. 

To play poker successfully, you need to live a certain lifestyle.  You need to get enough sleep every night.  You need to lead a healthy lifestyle.  You can not use alcohol and drugs.  You should only eat healthy foods.  It is necessary to use medications such as lacto- and bifidobacteria.  You also need to play sports (run, swim).  Be in the fresh air periodically. 

All this will allow you to withstand the enormous psychological stress that occurs when playing poker. 

This will give you an edge over other players. 

And this advantage can be decisive.

What you are saying is completely wrong! Sorry, but it is as it is!

I can explain to you, poker is a game of chance... the cards you hold give you lower or higher chances to win! BUT, if you pay to see the flop with your cards (week or low) depending on that flop chances for you are different! The beauty of poker is that if you wish to see that TURN maybe you will need to pay a big price (if someone rises before you)... and people who play the poker knows that RIVER can be full of surprises... but to get to that you will have to pay more maybe?!

The lifestyle you are talking about doesn't matter at all! You either like to play the game, and you know how to play it or not... what you use can harm you or give you a boost, but that is totally individually, whats good for someone is bad for others!

Some drugs could help you play poker if we are being honest. I mean look at those dude who play online poker, many games at a time for hour and hours on end, sometimes they are using more than just coffee to keep them going. However if you’ve got an in person tourney, one game that may require you to sit there for an entire game of one winner, then ya getting a girl night sleep and having decent health is probably an advantage. But it’s not like you have to be an Olympic athlete lol

Poker can f`k** depending on your lifestyle but there is no standard in the logic of the outcome of the game that defines it like that, it all comes down to the two cards you receive.

The history of the game has a "Mr." who is not only a legend just because of his name, he is also a legend for developing a style of play, for being one of the first winners of a million dollars, for having won 10 bracelets, for countless statistics. and stories, but is the longest-lived and most successful player in the history of poker, Mr. Doyle Brunson spent more than 50 years playing poker at the highest level, he retired just a couple of years ago, without alcohol or drug problems and even an example of how you can play poker for many years and end up doing well.

That guy said that one of the best players he had ever met was Bill Smith who by the way won the main event of the 1985 WSOP, if you like poker you know that it is the maximum tournament that any professional player does want to win.

Doyle Brunson said that when Bill Smith to play having a drink of whiskey he did not lose he was always the best player at the table, on the other hand and against position when he spoke of Stu Ungar a genius of poker but destroyed by the drugs because of the same success he mentioned that he was the guy who when he played healthy was the best player in NLH so his skill in the game was unbeatable when he was healthy, in fact in his last main event that he won before dying he had detoxified just to play maint event, but ironically he dies a few weeks later when he was already rehabilitated, so many years fucking your body with drugs pass bills.

Man, I support healthy mind healthy life, of course, it is the way for any activity in our lives, I repeat again healthy mind healthy life. The previous examples are only contrasted to show that not everything you read is true, there are exceptions to it.

Poker is not really a game of chance.  This is a game in which the player with certain skills wins.  Poker masquerades as gambling, but the best poker players are calm and cold-blooded people. 

To play poker successfully, you need to live a certain lifestyle.  You need to get enough sleep every night.  You need to lead a healthy lifestyle.  You can not use alcohol and drugs.  You should only eat healthy foods.  It is necessary to use medications such as lacto- and bifidobacteria.  You also need to play sports (run, swim).  Be in the fresh air periodically. 

All this will allow you to withstand the enormous psychological stress that occurs when playing poker. 

This will give you an edge over other players. 

And this advantage can be decisive.

What you are saying is completely wrong! Sorry, but it is as it is!

I can explain to you, poker is a game of chance... the cards you hold give you lower or higher chances to win! BUT, if you pay to see the flop with your cards (week or low) depending on that flop chances for you are different! The beauty of poker is that if you wish to see that TURN maybe you will need to pay a big price (if someone rises before you)... and people who play the poker knows that RIVER can be full of surprises... but to get to that you will have to pay more maybe?!

The lifestyle you are talking about doesn't matter at all! You either like to play the game, and you know how to play it or not... what you use can harm you or give you a boost, but that is totally individually, whats good for someone is bad for others!

No, don't leave the table. If your opponents are like that, it means they are predictable. You can easily read their plays if they are always staying safe. They won't raise if they got a bad hand, for example, so you need to stay away once they start raising bigger amounts.

These are also the kind of players you can easily bluff in poker. You put a good raise and they will fold immediately. If you think you have the stronger hand, you can also easily catch them by simply calling every time they raise and then raise or even all-in in your last bet. They'll either be scared or they'll fight their weaker hand.
Fair enough but wouldn't that mean you wouldn't really get anything if they have a good hand and start moving accordingly? Though I'd guess that you can profit off of a chance if you both have good hands, and it would all fall down to who actually has the better hand. Though it would probably take quite a bit of time then for things to actually get moving no?

With the kind of poker player we are talking about, it is either you will fold because he/she is obviously having a hand stronger than yours or you will bluff your way to win. Depending on the cards on the table, you will weigh your possibility of bluffing. You might want to try test the waters first and raise a good amount, but not that big. If this predictable opponent of yours calls easily, then begin to consider he/she is confident enough with his/her hand and that your bluff will only make him/her win big.

Bluff is a risky move, you normally have to take it a bit out of the comfort zone to actually make it believable and, guess what, by that time is effectively... out of your comfort zone. However, there is a perfectly valid point for a bluff from time to time, since someone that does not bluff consistently is also far too predictable and himself subject to someone bluffing.
Every move would always be risky and of course Bluffing is included too which you should really be that intelligent on when to do it and of course you should really make yourself look believable.

Gestures and facial expressions is always in tandem when you do play poker which this had been a very common kind of strategy but of course it should really believable.

When it comes to poker then you should really know on how to handle your cards well.
