You have to bluff at some point in a tourney or you will never win. The skill comes in knowng when to bluff. I agree it isn't worth it when the blinds are low at the beginning, when the blinds are in the 500-1000 range you have to bluff or "steal" blinds or the next thing you know your blinded out of the game. Patience, position and table image are crucial to stealing, sometimes you will be called or re-raised, if your called and it's a decent flop for you make a continuation bet, if you are called again you can bet the other player is on a draw or already has you beat, tonights game at PKR was a perfect example antes were 250 and blinds were 1000-2000 if all fold to you on the button with 6 players left, the pot is already 4500, worth a raise to try and take it down or not?
