Forme, the most beautiful art in poker, I win many hands with bluffs and many times against two when they check when the flop falls, even if I have connected cards on the table, I tend to go for deception and it has worked for me, this is one of the most important skills a poker player should have the art of deception
According to my opinion it is necessary that somebody who wants to be a good regular player has the knowledge to make a bluff at the right time and against the right villain!
If i play a tournament and most of villains @table are short stacked i wouldnt try to bluff because i will get more than one or 2 calls from villains!
It is also very important that your bluff is well prepared - you need information about other villains and their range, so if im playing against 3-4 villains and there is no preflop action and nothing after turn it is more difficult to make a good bluff and get the pot.
It is always risky to try a bluff when you have played only a few hand on table, i wouldnt do that in the early stage of a tournament because if it doesnt work - your 2nd try might be your last for tournament because everybbody has seen your lousy bluff before ;-)!
From my knowledge, the lower the buy in of a tournament we will have a greater number of recreational players, so in these situations it is less likely that bluffs will pass, they are players who are calling with any hand to see if they hit something on the flop, and they will continue to pay until the river, at higher limits or close to the final table, the tendency is for players to think more before calling with any hand, at the time of the bubble this also happens, so these are opportunities where bluffs can be better used.
Another important issue is always when we are going to bluff, use the semi bluff, never a dry bluff, with cards like 7 2 off for example, but cards that give us more equity to improve post flop, like J 9 suited for example, in addition to variables such as number of players in dispute, position at the table, value of your hand and profile of the opponent, whether he is a passive or aggressive player.
Sorry, I know you have been playing here for 40+ years or what ever it is, but I simply do not recognise your vision of Replay Poker. At SnG high/elite stakes at least there are certainly high levels of bluffing and folding of strong hands because of it. At some 250k + tables there is even people openly talking about how they just folded some very strong holding. I find thst the majority of players at the higher stakes take the game pretty seriously, I know I do as I hate the thought of losing bankroll and no longer being able to play high stakes.
You mention Paul he is one of the best I was on Bust the Staff yesterday for 8min. because I said hello Mr. Replay which is Paul nice to see u hugs sammymorgan they took me off as soon as i got on I played maybe 4 hands I am friendly player met Paul three years ago and thought he was very nice fair intelligent sorry he left but happy for him and wish he well
I used to play poker in yahoo!games site. Yahoo!games was very popular in those days. There may be some minimum hundred thousand people playing at any given time in yahoo!games. They closed the site in 2014 due to technical issues and financial problems of the company.

Most of the weaker players we will encounter in a $1/$2 cash game or $200 daily tournament will fall into the category of too loose and too passive. These players want to play as many hands as possible trying to connect with the board, and are content playing a bingo-style of poker from all positions.
For example, it is not uncommon for novice players to bet bigger with stronger hands, both preflop and after the flop. More seasoned players use a balanced strategy where they typically open to a standard size preflop regardless of their hand, and use a number of different post-flop bet sizes that are based on board texture, the positional situation, and range interaction. Weaker players tend to play a much simpler strategy that sometimes boils down to BIG HAND = BIG BET. Be weary when you are facing large wagers in these games, especially on the river.
At the very end of James Gunn's 2014 film "Guardians of the Galaxy," a character called the Collector (Benicio Del Toro) sat among the remnants of his high-end collection of galactic rarities, destitute that it had been largely destroyed earlier in the movie. One of his collectibles, a living Soviet space dog, licks his face in sympathy. A voice from off-screen notes that the dog is gross. It was none other than Howard the Duck (voice of Seth Green), a 1970s Marvel Comics comedy staple and star of a notoriously terrible 1986 feature film. It seems Howard was also one of the Collector's prisoners. One might admire Gunn's chutzpah for including Howard the Duck in his film, seeing as the character still bears the weight of the 1986 film's failure on his shoulders.
Howard's appearance was fun, but it wasn't so well-received that it lead to a new Howard the Duck feature film. Instead, the character has popped up in tiny cameos throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including in a nightclub in "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2," and on the final battlefield in "Avengers: Endgame." One might immediately picture a scenario wherein Howard the Duck, and not Iron Man, had snatched up the Infinity Stones at the end. "I am inevitable," says Thanos. "And I'm gonna duck you up," Howard replies.
Howard appears again in "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3," currently playing in theaters. While the bulk of the Guardians are away from home, seeking a cure for their ailing raccoon friend Rocket, Kraglin (Sean Gunn) stays behind with the above-mentioned Soviet space dog Cosmo (voice of Maria Bakalova) to guard the homestead and play poker with friends. Howard is one of Kraglin's poker buddies.
Things are strained between Kraglin and Cosmo, as Kraglin idly referred to Cosmo as a "bad dog" early in the film, and she finds such a slur to be an unforgivable slight. Cosmo continues to hound Kraglin (heh) throughout his poker game. Howard the Duck grows impatient and implores that Kraglin take it back.
Also impatient is the Broker (Christopher Fairbank), a character who first appeared in the first "Guardians" film. The 2014 original involved the buying and selling of a rare and mysterious orb, later revealed to house an Infinity Stone. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) offered the orb to the Broker, a weasely merchant from the planet Xandar, who refused when he learned that a supervillain wanted it. It seems there were no hard feelings, and the Broker now occasionally shows up on Star-Lord's home base of Knowhere to play cards. Perhaps notably, the Broker is not a character transported from Marvel Comics.
Also listed in the credits of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" are Bzermikitokolok and the Knowheremen, the pop band who debuted in "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special." They don't play poker, but they do wander around Knowhere, seemingly as professional buskers. Bzermikitokolok and the Knowheremen are notable because they are, in fact, the real-life band Old 97's, fronted by one Rhett Miller. James Gunn has made no secret of his affection for Old 97's and once made a Rhett Miller/Old 97's playlist on Spotify for everyone to listen to.
Gunn peppered in multiple other "Guardians" cameos besides throughout "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3." The character of Stakar Ogord, a Ravager captain played by Sylvester Stallone, appears for a few moments in "Vol. 3" Marvel Comics fans will likely know that Stakar Ogord was the real name of the superhero Starhawk. Unlike in the comics, this Starhawk does not hail from the year 3014. Stallone also appeared in Gunn's R-rated superhero film "The Suicide Squad." He played the voice of the anthropomorphic shark man King Shark.
Although the character died in "Vol. 2," Yondu (Michael Rooker) will make a brief cameo during the climax of Vol. 3. Yondu has a specially implanted mechanical mohawk that reached into his brain and allowed him to control a two-foot-long spear merely by whistling. If used properly, the spear could jet through a battlefield and puncture hundreds of attackers in a matter of seconds. Kraglin inherited the mohawk and spends several scenes of "Vol. 3" attempting to wield the spear properly. It won't be until Yondy appears to him in a vision that he'll get the hang of it.
Other sharp-eyed Marvel nerds will likely see references to many other obscure cosmic characters, although the above roster seems to be the only ones who appeared in previous "Guardians" movies. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for the character played by actor Jonathan Mercedes. He plays "Gamora Shoots This Guy!"
Such is the love for the game of poker, it has transcended into other aspects of life, including music. There are so many different feelings related to the game of poker, making it the perfect topic for a song. Read on as we bring you the top 3 poker songs everyone knows.
There is only one place to start when discussing the top poker songs, and that is Ace of Spades by Motorhead. Straight from the title of the song, you begin to think about playing cards, and the ace of spades is perhaps the most iconic of all the cards in the deck.
The single was released in 1980 and only reached number 15 in the official UK singles chart in November. However, the album of the same title reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and earned gold status, making it the most commercially successful album ever produced by Motorhead. The Ace of Spades song uses a series of gambling metaphors in the lyrics, mostly based on playing cards and dice, but Lemmy admitted that he preferred to play the slots.
