If you are positive that the three people in the one card per hand game, have A,K, and Q, when would it ever be a good idea for the Q to bluff? Someone holds the Ace, or nuts, and isn't going anywhere, the other holds the King and is folding like a cheap suit to any raise because there's a 100% chance that someone other than him has that Ace. Even if the order of action is Q,A,K, the Queen bluffs, Ace calls or reraises, and the King has the hands determined.
In a normal bluffing situation, one must rely on the fact that they have no opponent, who will be a possible ictim to their ploy, holding the nuts. You aren't scaring that guy off of his pot no matter what amount you bet. The success of your bluff is dependant on the fact that you can represent a hand higher than that of your opponent. If you are certain someone has the "nuts" at the table, and you are certain it isn't you, bluffing is a terrible play.
