Default 50/100 River Bluff

The table very recently broke down, we are now playing heads-up. The blinds are backwards though because there is a player sitting out.

Opponent is tight/aggressive preflop but often strangely passive postflop. I have seen him check check check with two pair and strong one pair type hands in spots where it would appear that he has clear value, attempting to let his opponents hang themselves. He also isnt afraid to call down light if he thinks opp is bluffing. Thats when the games are more full though, he is a regular in the big games and seems to do well so I'm sure he is adjusting to HU here, probably ramping up the aggression. Only decent pot we played when the game was still 3handed he check-called flop and turn pot bets with KJ on AJx10x board, I had 8high. After that hand maybe he won't call down light since he has to think that I think he is a calling station.

I checkraise the turn a lot both with big hands and with bluffs, so I wanted this to look like I missed my turn checkraise with an AJ/overpair/set or I hit a river 5. Good/Bad spot? How about the amount, would all-in be better?


Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $200</font>, BB calls.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($400, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $280</font>, BB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($960, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks.

River: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($960, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $1000</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2800</font>

So you're saying a bluff here by me against a calling station is a very very bad idea? Damnit.
