Yup.. but even at 25NL you can't/shouldn't bluff people. Hell, even at NL200 people will still not give you credit half the time... things start to change at around NL400 though.

You can bluff at micro-stakes poker, but only if you have a read on the player you are bluffing. It still isn't something that can be done with any regularity, but once in a while, it can be effective.

While I'd like to agree, you have to admit that people will call even if they know they are beat. I mean... you see it all the time. With that in mind, I think it's a poor decision to bluff. And the same looseness will also allow you to milk more from people when you do have a hand so I think it pays not to bluff...

All valid points, Kid. My only point was that I had to have a strong read that the player I'm bluffing actually has a fold button and knows how to use it.

You can't bluff players that don't understand the texture of the board and their strength of hand relating to that board. I would say try not to bluff much at all until $200NL. Every other level is donksville calling station mania.

It's player dependent not level dependent.
Even when I play the $5NL games to donk about there are players who play stats like 14/8/2 at a 6 max game, can see I am playing 60/50 but still continually call my raises to check-fold any flop they miss.
On the converse sbrugby is a good player but see how much respect he gives you if you keep firing away at him.

You don't especially want to bluff smart people, you want to bluff weak-tight people and there are more of these around the NL100 level than the NL1000 level.
