This is well written post.
Even though I could not read everything, i kind of understand the point you are trying to make.
Your tips on bluffing right in a poker game sounds reasonable.
I have seen people bluff during card games but I never knew it was a poker strategy
I guess you haven't been playing or seen someone playing poker in front of you.
Though bluffing is very useful in every kind of game it's not just in poker and as far as i remember they call it as
self-deception.
Allowing yourself to believe a lie that looks real to the other people and that's how you do the bluffing strategy.
Using this kind of strategy in the same people everyday will not gonna work anymore unless you do randomly or not using the same technique in front of people who do know your strategy very well.
I'm not so sure if bluffing would work in a digital environment though. Because of course your opponents can't see you nor your cards. I suggest that if your shooting for playing poker in a gambling site online, you practice first on free poker games available on the internet, they're free, have acceptable AI difficulty that would allow you to right-fit your abilities for the real thing, and the best is that you don't need to spend real money on betting only to lose at the end, especially because it sounded like you still know little to nothing about the game. Playing against computers have helped me enhance my skills particular on the games I play like chess, solitaire, and poker. So give it a shot, it just might work.
