Good board to 3 barrel bluff?

edited November 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Mid stages of £22 BH

Oppo hadn't done anything too out of order that I'd seen, but may not have been paying hard enough attention.

Having tripled up on this table I have sat tight for at least 3 orbits without playing a hand.

So after getting call to my standard c bet, put him on rag A or clubs, with a blank on turn decided to fire again, thought his call suggested the A rather than draw and with another blankish card on River thought that he can't call shove unless he has 2 pair or better

Is this all fair enough thinking?

    Some players are good readers or just can't lay down top pair - you decide

    Your line is fine as you could be doing this with a big ace

    I have to say at the time I was happy with the line I took, but obviously choose the wrong opponent. The more I think about his play prior to this he had shown station tendencies maybe. And you can't bluff a station!

    Did you have any notes on him or notice him doing anything good, bad or indifferent?

    As the old saying goes my friend you can only bluff a good player personally i would be check folding the turn.
