how to bluff donks?

Hello, I feel i have a solid game, most my money is made from allin hands with overpairs/the nuts.
i cant find good spots to bluff...
i play live 100$ tourneys with complete donks mostly.
There seem to never be good spots to bluff.
any advice on bluffing loose players?

Patience is a virtue. If you don't like that advice, then patience is required to be a winning player.

and undo all the good work u did for the last few hours cuz u got bored? u can't win every hand. treat every hand in isolation and play it the best way u can. if the best play is fold, fold.

Dont. They call too often anyway. Work on finding spots to expand your value betting range. That will be more profitable.

Against guys who never fold, waiting is crushing.

Re: how to bluff donks?

yeah i just want to chip up sometimes so im not always relying on 60-80% favorite allins.
i feel like im stuck in 2004 online poker when i play live.. just wait for nuts and get paid by donks.

If this strategy works and you face people who can't fold...carry on.

Nothing wrong with that , if u can get paid big when holding nuts then bluffing is unnecessary. Maybe put in some cheep bluffs for balance here and there, because even donks will notice after a while that u only bet the nuts ?

Re: how to bluff donks?

Analyse the boards that they play most conservatively/fearfully and exploit their weaknesses on these boards.

In general, fish seem to be scared of single-suit flops and paired boards but this is not a hard and fast rule. Analyse your opponent and adjust your play accordingly.

Re: how to bluff donks?

in tourneys you shouldn't take every spot that is slightly +EV, even if a bluff opportunity presents itself, you should not necessarily take it, because it's high variance for just a small +EV in chips.. just waiting for good hands is much more +EV than trying to find all the small +EV bluff-spots.. In a cashgame it's a whole other story.
