I seem to have hit a plateau in my poker play. It's because I STILL think people are bluffing when they aren't. Mostly I'm calling into straights instead of folding.
I still see bluffers everywhere. "They're EVERYWHERE, they're EVERYWHERE!"
Calling all-in to flushes, well I seem to have finally quit that after SWEARING I'd never do it again.
Tonight I had a little insight.
People bluff when everyone else looks weak. When they check-around or bet small amounts.
When people RAISE big after you've been betting heavily against them, it's probably not a bluff. They know you have something. The odds of them successfully bluffing you when YOU'VE got cards is low.
It would take a pretty confident bluffer to do that more than once.
So I think the thing for me, at least, is to fold in the face of big fat raises UNLESS everyone still in the hand has send signals of weakness.
