General rule of bluffing: It doesn't work until 5-10 or higher.

Semi-bluffing: this is betting when you don't have a made hand yet, but you can. For instance, betting on a flush draw. Example: Flop is A64, you have KQ suited and there are two of your suit on your board. Go ahead and bet. Not only do you have a good chance of hitting, you also can steal the pot. Semi-bluffing is only effective at higher levels because at lower levels you are just value betting b/c ppl will call you.

Pure Bluffs: These don't work too well at limit, but they do work at times. At higher levels, if the flop is scary, say AQ9, if the action is passed to you and there aren't many in it, go ahead and bet at it if you had shown strength preflop.
