bluffing is definitely a big part of any real money game. but i rarely use an allin bluff. the pot has to be right to. what is the point of stealing without a good pot? its pointless. i ushally lossen up and start tryin to work the bluff when the antes start. then its like 2 BB instead of one.
your table image is also key. instead of big bluffs where u end up pot committed i usually stick out a couple feelers less than pot but atleast 2.5 BB. here is a decent semi bluff while i was typing this.
