Where Poker Players Bluff Too Much And Where They Never Bluff

Professional poker coach breaks down the most common bluffing mistakes in live games. Learn which spots players never bluff and which they over-bluff. Covers check-back flop raises, triple barrels, donk bets, and optimal counter-strategies to exploit these tendencies.

Live players under-bluff check-back flop/raise turn spots and over-bluff donk bets. Exploit by over-folding traps, calling down bluffs.

Bluffing Blindspots: Where Live Players Go Wrong

• Check-back flop then raise turn is almost never a bluff - fold strong hands like pocket jacks
• Small triple barrel sizing in position is heavily under-bluffed compared to out of position
• Multi-way donk bets into pre-flop raisers are massive under-bluffs - over-fold aggressively
• Turn check-raises after showing aggression are pure value - don't hero call with top pair
• River stabs after checking through are under-bluffed - fold showdown value hands
• Heads-up donk bets are heavily over-bluffed - punish with aggressive check-raises
• Ace-high turn double barrels are over-bluffed when villain is pre-flop raiser
• Small c-bet sizing on wet boards signals weak ranges - exploit with raises and calls
