Default Excuse me I hav a Problem with...

...Bluffing!!!

Ok I explain. When I am in a Hand, and no one bets. I do it for them. I do it all the time. And when I smell some weakness in their betting I raise or check/raise, fire second, third barels to them. But that kind of play is so bad for my bankroll I busted it three times that way...

I cant help me! Before a session beginns I sit down and say Bluff only when I fell there is weakness in opponents play, but after few orbits I see me fireing at every pot who is uncontested even down to the river... sometimes I dominate the table, sometimes the players adjust to my game and call me down and even then I dont get it in my mind that this aggressive play mess my bankroll...

Has anyone some hints for me to get this problem under control ?

Constantly firing 3-barrel bluffs will get noticed quickly by anyone, obviously you need to tone it down a little. It sounds like you play lower limits, and bluffing can be pretty ineffective at those.

Your opponents will quickly notice this and let you do their betting.
Try not bluffing at all for a while. One can play winning poker not bluffing at all, especially at micro stakes. (I don't call a cbet a bluff though, but just give up on the turn most of the time if you are called).

Yes its on the lower limits (10NL on FT)

But it is really difficult to slow down... and I agree with the opinion from gpw you lose more to better players because they can make better adjustments to your play...

To call me a maniac is a insult for me! Thank you for your open words. I always asked myself if I am too loose or too aggressive, because I never saw a Video to compare me with a thight player.

Obvously I need more adjustments in my game as I thought.
