First off, making this kind of play without a really good read is spewy IMO. If you got Villain to fold in this particular situation, I believe you were lucky, cause most Villains wouldn't fold top pair after putting nearly 25% of their stack in the middle. Second, I like this play a lot more if both of you were like 100BBs deep and your opponent actually would have to risk a big stack to continue.

I've tried these plays before and most of the time I end up getting called. The few times I got Villain to lay down is probably just due to the fact that I was lucky to have made a bad move against the right player. You are more than 50BBs deep and still able to make some post-flop moves, why risk that ability on a bluff against a Villain on whom you have vague reads?
