How would I represent a straight here, I should of c/c on turn and bet all-in on river But instead, I checked raised on turn.

What would you guys have to done to represent a straight?
I put villain on Q or 10

fold pre, fold flop

^ That.

The only suitable bluff spot here is the flop. River is spew. Turn is just silly min-raising but any bluff is dubious there.

Don't try and represent something when your opponent isn't thinking about what you have. I wouldn't recommend bluffing at theses stakes at all. Seriously, they want to give you their money, all you have to do is let them. Bluffing limits their ability to give you their money cause instead you give them yours.

Thanks, I have noticed I've lost quite abit of money through bluffing. But if I don't bluff, I feel so damn bored just playing ABC poker. At what stake should I start to bluff scare cards?

Hi. People dont fold in big pots at micro-stakes.

Ever.

If you must bluff, bluff in small pots, but I'd work on that issue with needing to play fancy in order to alleviate boredom. That sounds -EV to me.

To counter boredom, just add more tables--not make super fancy plays where you'll just level yourself.

Bluffing is dependent on opponent, not stakes. There are people where bluffing is +EV at .10/.20, just make sure you have a read on him. Without reads though, at these stakes it is a pretty safe assumption that a lot of players are terrible and will call too much, so just try to focus on value betting instead of bluffing.
