There is a time and a place for bluffing, but it sounds like you are doing it too much. Have you read the Theory of Poker? That book discusses optimal bluffing strategy. Basically, it pays to bluff sometimes, but only to a point. There is definitely such a thing as too much bluffing, and it will get you into trouble. Use it more sparingly.

Also, bluffing doesn't work that well at the micro limits. There are way many more loose players and "calling stations" at the lowest limits, so bluffing typically doesn't work that well against these types of players. Betting for value is what you should do most often in these games
