I guess we have almost the same teenage life. I was 15ish the moment someone taught me about the rules about it but it was easy because I use to play what we call "Pusoy Dos" which are almost the same when it comes to card hands.
I played Texas Hold Em when I learned about Facebook but it was different because you are not really staking your money, just some chips gift by a friend.
The big difference is the bluffing part, when I tried it once using real money online it's not easy to win.
I think the big factor is laying down your strategy, let them know you are using basic strategies at the start and expect that will help for your next move which will be a bluff. Then hope they will think you are unpredictable next time.

Bluffing always works for me. Just makes your opponents confused therefore laying them right into your trap. I also find that playing less hands and playing them aggressively wins me more games. Perhaps it's because of the fact that the wins remain the same but losses are in a way mitigated when I incorporate these tactics. Played both of these tactics in online and real-life casino setting so I can at least vouch for myself that these techniques work when you don't overuse them.
My advice is not to use just a few strategies because you will find it difficult to win at playing poker if you only use one or two tactics or strategies, use everything you know to your advantage.
Playing long term will give you more chances to win in the end because you can master and also read the game and players, it all depends on your intelligence in playing. and play patiently because playing poker is very easy to get carried away with.
Basically be a jack of all trades instead of a master at one because people will get used to your antics and may develop a strategy that could counter yours. Can't emphasize how powerful this tip has been for me, as predictability basically decides whether you win or lose a game of poker. So take advantage of all the techniques that will make you less predictable from your opponent's perspective and never overuse or focus on one tactic. People are quick to catch up especially when they're losing. Playing long term will give you more chances to win in the end because you can master and also read the game and players, it all depends on your intelligence in playing. and play patiently because playing poker is very easy to get carried away with.
I do bluff even if it's online but I only do that if I'm already emotionally down and I don't think that I'm about to lose my bankroll. Like it's going to be an all-in bluff and whoever folds and scares with that early all-in bluff then I'll get a chance for another round.
Most of the time it doesn't work but when it does, I'm happy that it has worked to them although this is really a common strategy and many are no longer scared of it if they have good cards in hand.

texas holdem poker player vs player online bluffing strategies are not always successful and certainly dangerous because what I'm often afraid of is my enemy playing in a group so the enemy can see each other's card ,hope you understand what I mean
software house application online texas holdem ,vs bots is also not easy like there is a strange shuffle sometimes and come out with the same card over and over it's rarely fair
playing in a physical casino using a bluffing strategy is highly recommended because we can monitor the opponent reading his movement facial expressions so that the chance of winning is greater

Observation and at the same time trying to confuse the opponent and lastly, chips management. With those three, you will be able to play for a long time. Observation is pretty helpful since you can probably make a bluff that suits your opponent depending on your observations.
This is a more serious strategy for me since you are focus on the trend and you are waiting for it to result positive things. Its good that you are working on this because many gamblers are losing their control and they are playing without any strategy at all which is not ideal for every gambler. 
I'd like to hear tips/tricks/strategies for both!
Back in the days, if you have a good hand, always go for checks. On the first wave of three (3) pool cards, just check until someone raises even if you have good hands. Though this may vary, it is better to have a decisive pattern on bluffing as people might read your bluffs.
Another tip in bluffing, just raise and raise the pot until you spotted someone who is relatively weak in his will. Again, this may work in physical casinos since you get to observe people's behavior but in online, just stick with just checks.

I guess the thing that everybody really avoids in poker is predictability. So it would be a nice strategy to bluff a little, raise once in a while, perhaps all-in a few times, simply call even if you have a very strong hand, and so on.

Let's say there were tournaments where I wouldn't survive and win if I didn't bluff in some crucial moments... even with all in! If we don't know how to scare the opponents from time to time then we will not get too far in poker! We also need to know how to "hide" strong hands (just calling even with a strong hand) and let others get into a trap by themselves...
But it's poker in the end, it's not like we can sit and play as we want! We adapt to the specific table, players, a current stack of chips, and opponents stacks, blinds... and of course most important two cards we get at the moment!
Although I like poker very much, I am not a good player. I guess you simply cannot stick to a strategy or two in poker. And that itself is the strategy.
Also, poker is not purely gambling. And this is where my primary weakness is. I normally fight for my cards until the flop. This costs me a lot most of the time, because I do that regardless of my cards' strength. Chip management indeed matters.

Agree with this with having that kind of observation and making yourself more improved through experience.These things might simple and easy to say but it is actually the hard part.You would really need to have some experience and countless numbers of games before you could able to master it for yourself.Bluffing is part of it but of course
you should know on how to handle up these situations because poker is something a mind game and of course it involved some fake emotion part for decepting.
I know there aren't a ton of tricks one can use, but there are some out there.
There are some but in the end its mostly about how to play as optimum as you can depending with your hands EV as well your position. It also differs depending on either you are playing cash game or tournaments ( freezeout, bounty hunters or turbo/hyper )
I guess there's also a big difference when you're playing in person ( bluffing strategies ) vs playing online. I'd like to hear tips/tricks/strategies for both!
You can bluff in an online poker as well but it probably wont works in micro or low buy-in. If you open a hand in UTG position, you are most likely to have an Ace with a great kicker compared to someone that open on HJ position. Using this knowledge, you can even bluff as if you have an Ace when an Ace appeared on the board even if you dont have an Ace ( this also depends on your opponent's action because if he doesnt has an Ace, he will most likely not cbet the turn )

I fell in love with poker when the whole Texas Hold'em craze started around 2003-4ish range. I was in college at the time and man we played every single night for months on end. Bought a chip set as well which I still have. Unfortunately I haven't been playing as much as I'd like to lately, but plan to start getting in to playing more soon. I'm just curious what kind of strategies you guys employ when playing? I know there aren't a ton of tricks one can use, but there are some out there.

The greatest strategy you should start with is being able to figure out accurate pot odds and calculating how to bet accurately based on that. All the strategy in the world will not help you unless you can determine what you should be betting in any particular situation and this will give you a stronger position in being able to possibly figure out what your opponent has based on their betting. Of course there are plenty of bluffs out there, but fundamentally you need to have the basics down if you want to be able to survive long term and grow your bankroll over time. Otherwise you could lose many bad hands because you were not able to calculate what your opponent was really telling you.
Everyone will try to read the other player's strategy so it's hard to keep on playing with one or two strategies. I just try to keep on calling small raise if my hand is decent and move on from there. Sometimes I play aggressively but most often baits other players to raise or go all in.
I myself still use simple ways to play poker such as understanding the types of cards and looking for the right betting table, because for me choosing the right betting table is one of the most important initial things in poker because if you want to play long and relax I try playing at a small betting table first. At the small betting table I can study the situation and conditions of the ongoing game and will be able to prepare several strategies to play in the next game and the most important thing is to see how our opponents play, because sometimes poker players, especially beginners, are always in a hurry and don't see what the opponent is playing like, but in my opinion this is the wrong thing because by playing, you can see the movement of the opponent first in order to stop the opponent's cards which can harm our betting.
but it's true what @milewilda said, playing poker online and in person would be different, and I've only done things like this in online poker only and it mostly worked. but I haven't tried this in physically real poker

Showing off strategies would require a physical demonstration as different skills are used on different call or raise cases. I got into poker games in my second year at high school although I wasn't the best but I made sure I wasn't always losing I had to watch a few friends play and picked up some strategies from them and also developed on it. It's not a virtual demonstration it's more of physical
It's hard to explain poker and how to play it... It's against other people who have their strategies and moods, cards can be a bitch, what works today will not work tomorrow probably...
I have a lot of experience in playing, but it's hard for me to explain in general how to follow other players on the table, how to play different cards... especially when you add money, how much you have, which tables are you playing, cash or tournament...
I'm not some strategic master, I play poker by watching my cards and other players... In the end, all comes down to that, do you believe in your cards, do you trust in other players moves... I rely on intuition, on some instinct, what can be great, but it's poker nobody can win all the time and make the right moves all the time. There are just players with lower and higher winning rates.

You're right, i'm only a beginner when it comes to poker but i've done a couple of these strategies mostly the semi bluff, I tend to get aggressive whenever I like my cards or if i'm the big blind. Fast play is also a good strategy if you want to accumulate some balance but it's a double edge strategy as you can easily get owned if you try and repeat the same play.

I think you are much more proficient than we are at playing poker. I'm not very skilled and don't really get into this game. So I'm very happy if you first share the trick. I definitely really appreciate that. Honestly poker requires a high level of concentration. Meanwhile, my criteria for gambling is only to entertain myself and let my limited knowledge run it. Guess sports scores and play Slots are still my favorites to this day.
When I've played Texas Holdem online, I used to spend as much as possible time for my move. For example PokerStars, if not mistaken, gives you 5 minutes to make a move. I've used all more than 4 minutes "thinking". I just liked to annoy and play for time. Because of that, sometimes my opponents made quick decisions like calling or forget that they have to make a move and fold (distracted with something and tired of waiting for my move).

Comparing out playing online poker and playing poker physically or in front with other players does really have different vibe.When it comes to tricks and ways then it would really be a combination but commonly these are the things been done.
