this might be pretty stupid, but i'm giong to ask it anyway - Do any of you try to tell yourself you have a monster, when you are trying to bluff? I have been working on bluffing lately to try to add to my game. One thing I find in my homegames is that sometimes, when I'm bluffing, I will tell myself i've got a monster - I think it gives off a confidence or at least not seeming nervous about whether or not your getting called - I try to do the same thing in my online NL Games...Sometimes I will just keep firing w/out much of a hand, but if I "think" i've got a good one, its almost as if my bets have more confidence in them - Like i'm value betting instead of bluffing - or maybe im only trying to learn to bet the same way on a good hand as a bad one - Does anyone else do this? Or use another method to give off the same strength on a good hand as a bluff?
