Default Re: 25/50NL Hows My Line?

Given that
1. we've played few big pots,
2. when we have i've always shown him good hands, and thus
3. He most likely thinks I am a straightforward player

What makes you so sure I'm bluffing here, other than the fact that I've told you my hole cards? How would you expect me to play 55, QQ-AA (keep in mind I haven't reraised him OOP yet PF so he shouldn't necessarily expect me to with these holdings), or a 3?

Well here's my problem with this. If you think that villain should think there's a chance you have a 3, then he has to think there's a wide range of hands you reraise with preflop (why not 78 instead of 34 or 3x for example). In that case, he has to assume you're capable of bluffing in this spot as your preflop reraise doesn't scream strength. Obviously you could have QQ-AA with this line, but if I have 77-JJ I'll take my chances on this being a bluff.
