Default Re: good bluff?

Just curious - what sort of line were you experimenting with here preflop? Building a pot in case you hit a set, or trying to take the pot?

I personally wouldn't do the first - but with the weak raising/calling preflop, I can't help but put my opponents on medium-to-weak holdings and occasionally go for good sized raise here (round $20) to try and take it. This would also give a continuation bet on a non-scary board more credit. If I get raised - I'm done.

As for your flop play - I think I would have bet more here, and just a call would be enough for me to give it up right there.

As for the turn ... you got yourself in trouble now. If he's really got nothing, a smaller bet would be enough for him to give up (I doubt he called the flop bet with a flushdraw), but it is more likely he's got you beat, will call the $70 and then come out blasting on the river, where all you can do is fold...
