i guess my question is, is this bluff retarded?

[dstraff1]

i dont know about retarded, but after his minraise on the turn you have to be suspicious.

it all depends on your read of him, and how he reads you.

i'd probably just check behind, seems like you're trying to force it.

[iceman5]

He doesnt have a K, but hes not going to believe you do either. I think hes callng you here unless his turn check raise was a total bluff which I doubt.

Rarely is a turn min check raise a bluff. Theres no reason to bluff like that because rarely is someone going to fold unless they themselves have nothing.

yeah, I don't think you can sell a K here, I think he's calling with too many hands which makes this -EV
