Bluffing Loose Players

Bluffing is essential to profitable poker. Being able to bluff maximizes your win potential. But be aware you must know who to bluff and when the right situation is. Bluffing loose players usually is not very profitable.

Loose players by nature love to call down hands. In a sence you can call them non believers. Loose players tend to become very attached to their hands and don't have very high folding tendencies. There call rate is by far always much higher then there fold rate. Again back to basic poker strategy, you should always raise or fold never just call. Losse players always fail to understand this, calling is right in some situations but not at the frequency that loose players do.

They are unbluffable, and I would suggest you don't try a big bluff with a loose player. As a general rule, only good solid players can be bluffed, but remember, bluffing is the art of story telling, you must make sure your story makes sense for the bluff to be successful.
