Re: did I induce bluffs or miss bets?
If I had a nickel for every time I played this hand this way... ok, I gets lots of nickels every time...
the only way to make more is to raise the flop in the hopes that he comes back at you. Once he does, you may be able to raise later, but you'll often be beat if you do get action.
See poker essays 3 for a similar sitution. Much of the time, this player has QQ or JJ and is betting for information (which they will often ignore), and is not about to go to war with you.
If you appear to be a wild player to this opponent, rasing earlier has much more merit. Now he might want to get crazy with a paint pair.
