I think I overdid this...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

MP1 (LAP)/ ($46.75)
MP2 ($48.65)
MP3 ($40.4)
CO ($37.95)
Hero ($88.8)
SB ($50.73)
BB ($31.25)
UTG ($117)
UTG+1 ($78.6)
UTG+2 ($53.5)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
3 folds, MP1 (LAP)/ raises to $1, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.50.

Flop: ($3.25) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, LAP bets $2, Hero calls $2, BB folds.

Turn: ($7.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
LAP bets $2, Hero calls $2.

River: ($11.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
LAP bets $5, Hero raises to $30, LAP folds.

Final Pot: $46.25

I am kinda new to NL so the bluffing part isnt my strongest side... this went well but what about next time... Was this a good spot to bluff at or should I have folded on the flop?

i would feel a lot better about doing this with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but as is i think its fine.

It seems like MP1 is drawing (like you are). I would raise the turn and try to win it there. If you're called, you have a few outs. Plus, your bluff on the river might have more bite.

Yeah I propably should cause I got the same feeling that he was drawing and then on the river betting 5 bucks into a 10 dollar pot didnt convince me he was that strong. Maybe I shouldnt have waited so long until I bluffed thanks I will remember that!

I see exactly what u mean, to be honest I never in my head could imagine he was betting on a runner runner flush but I should have, another thing to consider until next time Thanks alot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think any "bluff" or Ace-high hand like this is totally read dependent. You can either look brilliant or an idiot.
