when i started playing poker , i played exacctly just the way you played before but actually i didnt think that i was bluffing but what i was really thinking was my opponent was the one bluffing against me andthe call and just wanted me to fold my hand , so i always make the call cause i thought it was a bluff and i always end up losing all my chips early in the game and as i play more and more poker i learned just like you and now i learned when you need to bluff the right time.So now there are times that i win and most of the times i lose....LOL
