I wonder if someone experience having all-in with nothing to play at all?I mean bluffing all-in.Any advice to do this job effectively.Is there any right time to do this?Or you just have to play it because you think you have the best hands than others?

Doing so early on can take some easy pots for you, people don't want to bet all out if they aren't sure at all on what you've got.

It's important to do it after the flop if possible though, try and give people the impression you've just made a big hand. Doing so preflop is suicide.

Later on in the game big pots have been taken from nothing, though I don't advise it personally.

I guess most of this players that making this move are those young people that they think they could bluff others.But the thing is they dont out smart an experience players.Experience will make you a good and effective bluffer.I guess that is the answer to your problems.

Experience will tell you when it is most effective to bluff - as I said earlier in my previous post, doing so when the chance of you having a strong hand is zero is suicide against good players, though against the run of the mill you might just get away with it.

Still, it's not a tactic I advise early on in any plyers career.

I've done it on occasions, but not often. Only when I'm sure I've got more balls than my opponent anyway.

Generally, it occurs when I over commit to the pot, and figure for what I have left I would be best off trying to steal it rather than relying on the river or having the high card.
