I have read a lot of articles about not bluffing recently so I will throw my 2 cents in. If you are playing small stakes poker (less than say $10/$20) then there is no point in bluffing. People say they don't want to be percieved as rocks, but the fish are not paying close enough attention to know you are a rock. If you are playing with a fellow shark you don't want to bumps heads with him anyway. And there is also the fact that you can't bluff a calling station, because they are going to call you down, and you had better hope you have the better hand.

All of the articles say the same thing. Just play your premium hands, because in a small stakes game, they are going to pay you off anyway.

As for SnG's and MTT's I would say all bets are off as far as bluffing goes. But in ring games, don't worry about it.
