Re: Reasonable spot to bluff?
This 9 on the river just makes it more obvious why you should have bet the turn -- you gave up your representing privileges. He would have had trouble calling you with any kind of "made" hand like 2 pair -- and if he called with a draw, he was drawing pretty thin, since a lot of his "outs" give you a nut hand, he had no implied odds, and any blank (particularly one that paired the board), and you easily steal the pot.
If he is a good player, the only hands he will fold on the river here are hands that are probably behind anyway (and maybe a 3, 6, or the like -- though I've seen calls with less).
