I almost never bluff raise the river (my secret is out) but the set up seemed good here (although I think I needed to consider the villain more carefully, as he is 42/4/.8, so probably not the folding type which was a mistake). He raised me on the flop, but then backed off on the 3rd flush card on the turn. I bet out with the 2nd nut flush draw and overcards. Because of the villain's fear of the flush and then my bet, I was playing that he had me on the flush, so when he bet out the river, where 99% of the time I would have folded, I raised, so he would put me on the made flush. He waited almost the full amount of time and called. Is this a reasonable time to bluff raise the river? Was it just the wrong opponent?
