General Strategy When Is Bluffing More Effective: Online Poker or Live Casino Games?

[Nomad]

Online players rely heavily on stats and patterns, while live players rely on instincts. Where do you think bluffs work better, why do you think it works better? Has bluffing paid off for you or backfired badly?

Bluffing online feels very weird to me honestly. There is no facial reaction, it's you and the screen. Live games at the small casino I used to visit felt more readable. People leak some info without knowing.

Bluffing works best in live poker against good players. Bad players can't be bluffed online or live as a general rule. The tells are fewer online as well. All in all online poker is good for practice or fattening your bankroll.
In my opinion it's a video game when played online.

Poker is a game about people, and it helps to see then face to face when you play.

I have never understood how someone can bluff in poker when it comes to playing online. Unless the poker site you are using offers a video option where you can see the other players, bluffing doesn't seem like it is possible.

I’ve been playing there for a bit, and the quick crypto withdrawals are what sold me. The welcome deal with the free spins was a nice boost too, especially on the first few deposits. The site loads smoothly on my phone even without an app, and live chat has been solid whenever I needed help. Overall, it’s been an easy place to jump in and play.

I don’t rely on stats. I will look for patterns and tells from tablet mates.
Some sites use RNG which is naturally random it’s algorithms to mimic a selection of value. PokerStars which I haven’t played in a decade, is using a Quantum RNG that is the real deal as it exploits optical quantum process.

I disagree. Even though it’s online, you’re still playing against real players, at least in our home games and on the trusted sites we support through our poker forums.
