ITM Bluff

[IMTheWalrus8]

What do you think of my bluff here?

Standard preflop raise was 2xBB. Villian always raised from the button but was otherwise tight aggressive. His flop bet was weak, I liked the size of the pot, and I thought it was 2-1 that he would fold to my raise.

I could also get away from the hand with 3BBs and start the all-in fest.

It's a decent bluff. The guy is basically begging you to raise him and take the pot. I would probably fold preflop but okay, you know more about the players you were playing with than me.

btw I think you can raise less. If you plan to fold to a reraise, then don't make it 2000...make it 1200-1400 or something. I like allin better than 2000 with the idea of folding.
