I'm not sure how many people here play limit, I play 1/2, 1/2 kill, and 2/4 as I have progressed in my limit play I have noticed that the player here don't bluff, you get the one or two guys bluff way to much but many players don’t bluff not enough... I bring this up in this thread because this is one of the key things I take into consideration when playing my opponents. Things that can be taking into account even if they are bad players, a bad player in limit will call you down with any pair or bettor if he has a real strong hand he will bet into you or raise, don’t try to over aggress that guy off a pot instead value bet the shit out of your solid hands right ABC poker… that’s not why I’m writing this post… I see it way too often then I should thinking players don’t have the balls to bluff against say a rock, why not take a shot at the tight passive if you think he will fold? Why not come over the top if you think your opponent is full of shit? I have had guys check call the flop and lead out the turn… did the turn really help them maybe or maybe not, if the player is a thinking player capable of a bluff move there then I would come over the top… if he is a donk then the turn probably did help your opponent… take into consideration the frequency of your opponents bluff, having that knowledge will help you fine tune your bluff frequency against particular opponents, by playing the player for there style and there bluff frequency you can fine tune your own bluff frequency…

I'm not so keen on bluffing at all in LHE, but I think you can quite easily get away with a cheeky bluff raise here and there vs a TP if you think he will fold. I don't feel it can be done often though, as in LHE most players at the lower limits are probably to call at least one bet every street down with middle pair. But TP players are a possible exception, which could make bluffing a viable option SOMETIMES.

They don't call it No Fold'em Hold'em for nothing. People don't bluff at the low levels because it doesn't cost anything to call. People tend to keep calling raises because they called the previous raises. I see this all too often, especially at brick and mortar games. For example, one hand I has at a BAM. I had rockets. I raise preflop, a few callers. Flop comes down T 8 4. Someonebets, I raise again, Joker guy calls, some fold, down to 3 players. Turn comes 3. 3rd guy bets, I raise, Joker calls, 3rd guy drops, only me and Joker left. River comes 3. Joker bets, I raise, he reraises, I call. Joker turns over 37o. This is the hand that got me to finally stop playing low limit hold'em. You can call it a bad beat, but in low limit, people play like this ALL the time. It's hard to turn a profit.

I think we missed the point of my post... you CAN bluff at low stakes, you have to play the player to do it and be in a HU situation...
