Default Outright bluffing

In this hand I was tired and thought I had 53 for two pair.
I was thinking lately of good bluffing opportunities.
Was this one?

Villain is 29/19 and rather competent postflop (he has too low calldown standards though).
He isolates limpers with KTo, so I think he would have raised in the SB with a lot of kings (CO is uberloose).

He obviously doesn't have a queen and will fold all of his non king/flush hands for the raise.

He might even dump K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] figuring he's behind and can be drawing dead 'cause I have a very clean image.

Obviously if he has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], he won't fold but it's rather unlikely he has it.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3.00 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (2.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds.

I raise the flop. Given that you didn't, I am not sure what to do. I guess a raise is fine as long as it is your last money in the pot UI.

If he calls and the river is a heart, what is your plan if he checks to you?

If he has A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], you don't need him to fold, as you are almost certainly ahead.

its interesting you say he's goot to bluff at yet his calldown standards are too low. that seems paradoxical.

i raise the flop too moosey. if river is a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] i check behind because i am a fraidycat
