Sure, I bruff

Our villian is of the preflop raise or fold mold. Hes raising close to 30%. Very aggressive postflop but has been a bit weary of me. My table image is tighter than usual.

River bluff looks good.

It's all good. I think the flop raise is fine since you feel he might fold to your aggression.

Considering your table image at the time I like it. I do the same thing once in a while.

Not a very good spot to be bluffing. SB 3-bet preflop, which means he's probably got a decent hand. Given his play on later streets it looks like a big A or a small or medium pair. The board is draw-heavy, which means he might well put you on a draw the whole way, making it even more likely he calls down with his AK or AJ or 44.

Btw -- any card other than a 4, 9, or T and I think the turn is a check.

River bluff sucks. What hand is calling that turn and not the river?

A spade draw for sure. Plus, villian is supposed to be weary of hero's play so maybe he gives up on a PP when the 2nd broadway card hits.

Two overcard [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s or [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s seem like reasonable holdings he'll fold on the river. The queen also seems like a reasonably scary river card. I'm not suggesting this to be a standard play for his flopped OESD, but with a good table image and the right opponent (admittedly I'm not deadset on this opponent being ideal given Transference's description) I think it's a decent way to mix it up.
