Default Good spot for a bluff? Live Game

8 handed
Blinds: 2-5 pot limit

MP raises to 15, ( tight straighforward player who will c-bet usually but lay down hands vs pressure)
HJ Calls ( Calling station but will usually raise big with made hands)
I call on the button.

my hand in the highjack: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Flop: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

MP makes it 20,
HJ CAll..
I Call

TURN: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

MP 30..
MP+1 ..call
I call

River:2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
MP: 40
MP+1:call
I make it $250 total..

Reasoning for the bluff...My read on MP is he does not have spades and will fold...MP+1 would raise with the A of spades and I hold that magical king of spades.

Standard play? Like/ No Like?

Seems fine, honestly you know the players tendencies and their view of you better than us so asking us really will get improper replies.

On a basic level, if you would actually do this with the king high flush draw I like it a lot better, not sure if you do...Also your story seems plausible which might get them to lay down a decent flush.

Back to what I was saying earlier, you know them better so I assume neither are "I has a flush I can't fold" type players because then this is major spew. Also you have to have a decent image in terms of not spewing a lot for this to get 8-J high flush to fold. I just don't see the queen folding.

I would raise less on the river to try to make it look as much like a value raise as possible.

'it depends'.
If they both folded it was a good bluff.

This is such a player dependant situation, you wont gain much from asking people who don't know who you were playing against.
