Re: i executed a fancy semi-bluff, now what?
why do you think ace high will call you? There's about nothing on this board that ace high beats. You have second pair oin a double paired board, you check-raised the flush, the top card paired. If ace high calls, it means he think you're an ultra lag or over defend. Really, if he has two big unpaired cards he's beating like nada here.
Depending on the opponent, I'd might be inclined to check-call this river, thinking he called the turn check raise with a big [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. It sucks to call with an 8 when he shows you jacks, but I don't think he's winning without a big pair and big pair don't grow on trees.
Of course, if he'd call with ace high then bet. If he raises I can't see how you can call. Even if he's "bluffing," I think he'll be bluffing with the best hand.
