Bluffing will never work against a TP-P (rock), so there's no point in trying it

There are some exceptions, but generally speaking a rock is going to call to the river with any made hand, unless the board makes it painfully obvious that you have a better hand than he does (i.e., you raised PF, he cold called with 44, and the board comes out AAKJT). So when you find yourself heads up with someone like that, there just isn't much point in bluffing your A high all the way to the river, because the only thing he's folding is a worse A high (and he'll usually fold that by the turn).
Of course there are times when there's an obvious draw on the board and a flop & turn bet thus make sense after the rock checks to you, and (a few) times when you can push a rock off of a better A-high hand than you have, but generally speaking, I've learned that it's far better to just check down UI vs. a guy that's never going to fold a pair.
