Default Ownage of a minraise bluff

I seem to only post hands where i misread min-raises, so here's one where i'm right...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (Villian)/ (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Hero ($100.50)
CO ($125.46)
Button ($116.40)
SB ($178.42)
BB (Villian)/ ($91)
UTG ($146.35)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB :#A500AF(Villian)/ calls $3.

Flop: ($8.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Villian checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $6</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to $12</font>, Hero calls $6.

Turn: ($32.50) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villian bets $30</font>, Hero calls $30.

River: ($92.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Villian all-in for 45, Hero calls $45.

converter got messed up, but villian had A5. woooo ya...

perfectly played

EDIT: uh, based on your read. i'm not advocating calling down with one pair every time there's four to a straight on the board [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think the turn might be a good time to put him all in, he doesn't have much money left and I would want to put it in before an A, K, Q scares his TT away or loses you the pot.

the problem with putting him in on the turn is that if he has basically a pure bluff, then he'll fold. by calling i allow him to make the final desperation bluff. your point is valid though.

Are you sure you had him on a pure bluff (actually it was a semi-bluff, he had outs, river is pure bluff, though) before you saw his hand at showdown?

You'll probably be up against a lower overpair or TPTK more than you will be against a pure bluff. Plus many opponents will realize that if you called that bet on the turn you won't be folding for a lower percent of the pot.

i agree and had similar thoughts. however, what does putting him in on the turn accomplish other than potentially causing him to fold his TPTK and pure bluff?
