checkraise bluff ITM at 20s

[gildwulf]

Opponent notes: too tight, has folded to strong reraises before with medium and bottom pair. Got big stack through playing big hands very strongly. V. solid player.

My image: V. tight...up until this hand I have been playing only premium hands very aggressively.

Read on opponent on flop: ace-high, bottom pair...I was trying to get him to lay down bottom pair or ace high on flop...turned out to be very interesting hand.

I think check-raising or raising on a bluff is normally a bad idea because of your opponent's tendecies to stay with their hands after they have bet... Unless Villain is willing to get away with hands after betting, and normally many Villains aren't, and most have some trouble, I like either folding or calling, planning to bet any scary turn, and there are a lot of them.
