At the home game I play, I learned to not Bluff as much as I was trying to. There was always someone that would call your bet. The card police I like to call them. If you are going to bluff, try to do it when there are less people in the pot.

I'd also get an online poker account and play the free SNG's 10+1
Sit and Go's = SNG in the play money tourney section. After the first 3 people go out, it usually plays somewhat decent.
