His 66 is scooping your $12.

Do you (not pointed at anyone in particular) really think someone is calling with 66 in this hand on the river? Hero's line is strong. If the typical calling station took hands like 66 on boards similar to this and called strong bets on all 3 streets, they'd lose a buy-in every 100 hands or less. I'm not saying this is not a risky bluff, but I am saying that I think we aren't giving 'fish' enough credit to find folds.

If Hero posted this hand as AA instead, would everyone be thinking 'yeah I bet the fish shows 66 on this river'? This hand just makes me think about Pokey's weak-tight post. It's very hard to judge the effectiveness of bluffs when you know it's a bluff. I would have liked to see this post with Hero's hand omitted and then a simple question at the end, 'What are the worst hands you think villain calls with here.'
