I was taught early on that bluffing was very difficult Limit Poker. This is true, but it's not impossible.
I was at a Freeroll Tournament at the Commerce Casino. I'll write about that one later. Before the Tournament, I decided to play a little Hold 'em. I went down to the $3/$6 table to kill some time. Let's just say for the first 30 minutes I was card dead. I couldn't get a hand that was worth playing. Until I mucked a 7-2 offsuit and saw a flop of 2-2-5 only to have the 7 come on the turn.
Anyways, I was complaining about bad cards until I was about 15 minutes from my tournament. Because of my tight play was able pull two bluffs.
Hand 1 - My hand was 10-9 off. 5 callers. Flop comes A-8-4. I decide to represent the Ace and I bet, which knocks out 4 players. The turn comes a 2 and the last player folds. I'm now almost at even money. My tight playing helped me win this hand.
Hand 2 - Js-9c. I call in early position and I have two callers. Flop comes Ah-Th-7h. I check, late position bets and I call. The turn is Qs. I check and late position bets, I raise and late position folds. This is my favorite bluff because I am telling the story that I'm slow playing this person. I didn't think he had the Ace, but he instead had the ten. He wasn't going to spend alot of money to hopefully in with middle pair and a flush draw.
What made these bluffs work?
1. Tight image. I was playing so tight that I had to be playing with premium cards, even though I wasn't.
2. Board texture. I was representing the hand that made sense with the board.
Limit Hold'em is a game of patience. Mind you, these two hands were the only hands that I won their entire time.
