You are not folding a K, but folding all else (no RR PF so QQ &amp; JJ are probably out).... I like it, looks slow playish enough to get more than enough folds to be +EV, not to mention he probably doesn't have much on this board.

If he calls with a T or 88 he knows you.

Regards,
Woodguy

Seems pretty logical to me after that river card and his weak bet.

You're getting called a lot by a thinking player. You're line looks too much like some sort of busted draw or weak hand or air and it's really hard to see how you get to the river with a K in your hand.

He's not just repping a K.

Agree, which is why I didn't really offer an opinion on the bluff in this particular instance, just warning in general that it looks relatively easy to sniff out by a good player.
