you and your opponent/s both have nothing, and you check back and forth down the board

now my question is- would you fire a sizeable hoping to win the pot on the turn or would you just check to showdown?

if i bet pot size in my bets, somebody only needs to be holding a low pair to snatch the bluff.

im starting to think the essence of a good poker player is the bluff, as i dont think i do it enough

my logic is this: if you have no chance of winning the pot on the river because you have total crap- the only way to win the pot is to bluff. now to make it a long term "sustainable" bet size i think you shouldn't bet more than 1/2 of the pot, even better 1/3...this looks like you want to squeeze out some value...
