Default Re: A question of bluffing in a nut-peddlers game

It is obvious that the best people to bluff are tight players and worst ones are calling stations. But there is a key factor in this in your topic heading. You called it a "nutpeddlar's game". That is, a very tight table.

The first problem is that you are most likely making a mistake in game selection and should not even be sitting on such a table with most likely a very small average pot. The presence of just 1 or 2 LAGs or total calling stations could change this though.

The second problem is that a certain percentage of your bluffs will in fact get called. But you shouldn't really mind that because that helps you get action when you do actually make a hand. But again the problem is that such players, nutpeddlars, are not the ones who will likely be fooled by such bluffs and pay you off, unless you make an unlikely backdoor hand.

So even though these are the types of players you should be looking to bluff, this is not usually the type of game in which to do so or you could well become the live one at that table.
