Your turn bet makes zero sense at all to me.

I think my opponent might fold a draw or a better hand than I. What if I really had Aces here?

I don't think you play aces that way.

Fair enough.
Shorties often play top pair this way:
Call. Call. Call.

I assume you play aces and sets in this manner because worse hands will call? For the same reason, I give up on this hand on the turn unless I have a strong read on the opponent.

So I guess using the same line with a strong hand and a bluff is just crazy then.

Yep, that was kinda my point.. if I mix it up, what's the harm? If I show down the nuts here, maybe I get more fold equity next time I'm bluffing? If I show down 97[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], maybe I get more calls when I have the nuts.

No, of course it's not crazy against very strong opponents and or opponents you have a good read on. I just believe it's a poor play at 200NL online because you're likely to find much stronger, less risky places to get your chips in.

And even if you did, bluffing shorties willing to gamble sucks.
