only hands i could be bluffraising with here is 88-TT or so and for that to make sense he has to believe that first of all, i didn't three-bet them preflop and second of all, am perceptive and creative enough to turn them into a bluff when i suspect i am beat.

See now this is a much better argument. I was not villain in this hand and I wasn't arguing either way that your play was good or bad.

What I was saying is that your justification sucks that villain will hardly ever show up with a hand better than your repping so it must be good. This has little to do with the EV of this play because villain should realize his entire range is now a bluffcatcher once you c/r.

This play is more dependent on what he thinks of your range and if you have little history than what his tendencies are (if he makes big calls), image etc.
