The key is in building a big pot first, then bluff the villain out. You need reads to know what ranges villain can lay down to what flops + turns (and rivers)

you never bluff small pots? there's quite a lot of money to be made from picking up many small pots. |
it's a lot easier to successfully bluff in smaller pots -- weak and medium strength players (including me) will usually fold to a reraise or 3bet with a medium strength hand -- the board can be dry, and people fear 2p or a set. it's the big pots that are much harder to bluff, so you need to time it right usually with a scare. You can take a lot of these pots without much risk, while the bigger pots need more precision and the margin for error is smaller.
