good spot to bluff?

[housenuts]

was this a good spot to bluff?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)

Button (t1970)
SB (t2250)
Hero (t1250)
UTG (t2685)
MP1 (t535)
MP2 (t3870)
CO (t940)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t50, CO folds, Button calls t50, SB completes, Hero checks.

should i raise here with all these limpers? i figured no because i wouldn't be able to call a re-raise

Flop: (t250) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets t100</font>, MP2 folds, Button folds, SB folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t400</font>, UTG calls t300.

when everyone else folded it was just between me and UTG. the hand before he just doubled up with AA. countless times at this level i have seen guys win big pots and go on a rush. i figured he was bluffing. is this a good enough raise if i'm gonna try to bluff?


Turn: (t1050) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t800 (All-In)</font>, UTG ?.

well there's pretty much no stopping now is there?

Turn check would have been weak, but you took a stab at it. If you think he can call your flop raise (which I liked, maybe even a bit smaller, down to 300) and fold to your turn bet, you make the play, but I would just give him the pot there many times. Need to be able to check-fold if you don't see any further weakness.

The all-in bet is an ok bet, but you should not do it a 100% of the time, if that makes any sense.

Don't really see too much point to it. The blinds are relatively low and adding 350 to your stack at this point is not really going to help much. I'd wait until later where better opportunities may present themselves.
