The big thing in bluffing is that you are telling a story. You want the other players to believe the story you are telling. But it has to work, to be credible.

You are in the big blind. Say the flop comes J75 with two clubs. You have a trash hand that hasn't connected, but you check and call a bet.

The turn is a king, you check and call another bet.

The river is another club. You bet out big. Your story is that you were chasing a flush draw and you hit it. Your story makes sense with the way you've played your hand.

When you bluff, sometimes the other players have bought your bluff, but hope to get lucky. Sometimes they just don't believe you. The second barrel can convince them.

But if you don't have a credible story to begin with, you're just chasing a bad bluff with more money.
