I don't have much experience with this, but I do know it can work in the right situation. In fact, this was my first bluff-raise.

It was against two other players I knew quite well. In a 2-6 spread limit game, with 7 players. I was in last position after the flop. First player was a straight forward player. Second was a player who bluffed alot and was also a player who would fold a pretty good hand if he thought it wasn't good, and who I was pretty sure considered me to be a pretty straight forward player. Throughout the hand the first player had been checking and calling, the second player had raised preflop and bet on the flop, turn and river. The river paired the card that was high on the flop (a king). I had a busted draw, I raised, first player folded after saying he couldn't call with two pair, the second player thought for quite awhile and then folded.

I should add that the bettor had been raising alot preflop, so didn't have to have a premium hand.
