PM,

Hope you made it home ok from Vienna, you were tanked in that hotel lobby the last night.

This play is weird for me because I'm not sure what hand or even what type of hand you are trying to represent. If your opponent is thinking, that means he'll try to put you on a hand, and if he has something respectable like a pair or two pair, he's more likely to look you up despite your large bet amounts because your play confuses him.

It's not a horrible situation, because you do have more outs than god, but obviously you'd rather not get called here. I also find it very awkward when you are bluffin and pick up a draw. I tend to slow down on the turn in spots like these because of the sheer deceptiveness of your hand. You have plenty of money where you might be able to check-call the turn and still have folding equity on river.

Thoughts here are mumbo-jumbo but so is my fried brain right now.
