$100NL Bluff - too spewy or hell yeah?
 

11 Hands on Villian - no reads. He requested and used a shitton of time on the turn, so I am more curious about the river bet. Is this too fancy? What do you make of his donk bet on the flop?

Would've been easier to raise flop.

Yeah raising flop is best here I think. The only hand that makes any sense to play like this is AQ, but AQ would probably raise or fold the flop. I think this makes it look to bluffy and vs somebody who thinks about this stuff I think you're getting looked up with quite a lot.

Raising flop doesn't narrow your range down at all so firing again on the turn will get more respect imo.

Re raising the flop (general advice, not this hand):
IMO It depends on how you play your FDs. If you don't always raise them on the flop I see no problem calling here with the intend to bluff on a diamond.
+ raises on the flop get little credit from some villains

Just wondering what exactly you were representing here?
