Re: A bluff 400NL

Guy leaves for dinner in 5, and you don't share another table with him for a month. He doesn't remember that your AA and your bluffs look the same. You don't remember you made this play against him. You're out an extra $150 you could have saved by bluffing half the pot and getting him to fold the same range he would have folded anyways.
Ridiculous.

This isn't what it's really about. Obviously if he can beat AA, he's calling anything, so that doesn't matter. But, there's a very good chance he's folding smaller overpairs like TT- or even JJ that he'd insta-call for 150 since he's getting a much better price.
On the other hand, I think I perfer a turn check-raise/free card to betting. You lose the pot if you miss everything on the river, of course, but now it's a much smaller pot you don't feel obligated to get stacked for to win. But, as played, potting the river is a lot better than half-potting because he will fold hands that beat A-high here that he'd never fold for a half-pot bet getting 3:1.
