Unsuccesful bluff!

[TheEye]

Sorry I couldn't find the hand but this keeps buzzing in my head. Here is a brief explanation:

I am a ring game player but every Saturday I fire up a couple of mtt to play along with the nova freeroll on stars.

$55 mtt, blinds 100/200, I app.6000 chips, villain(read:loose/passive) app.8000 chips, 9-handed.

Evr1 folds, I mp3(AKs) raise 600, villain sb calls, folds

flop:Q109o, villain bets 400, I call
turn:4o. villain bets 400, I call
river:10o, villain bets 300, I raise pot, villain calls and shows Q3o(what a [censored] donk).

Did I play this bad?Comments?

And apologies if this is not high stakes, I thought its not small stakes, you may move if so.

Raise the donk bet on the flop to like 1400 or so. He's betting for information and to block to get a cheap showdown. You will see this a lot in tournaments at that level. Tell him what he wants to hear - that his hand is no good and he can make a good fold on the basis of his cunning bet to see where he stands.

In general, I like this advice against this kind of donkbet.

Here, you often have 10 outs or are ahead, so I like just calling.

The problem with a pot sized river bluff is you have to get villain to fold half the time for it to be profitable.

Ok, suppose I raise flop and he calls(which would have been more likely as he did call a big riverbet with his sh!tty hand anyway), do I c/f turn and river then?
Wouldn't that be the same as my river bluff?!
My thoughts at the time were for me to pretend slowplaying top p/overp/strt/trips on a rainbow flop/turn.
Then on river as another 10 came out, from his small bet I figured he was betting a pair of nines to get a cheap showdown, hence my raise.

Generally is the call of a pot sized bet with his hand on that board in mtt happening more than 50% of the time?
Personally I would fold 90% if I was there, but ofcourse I would rarely get involved in sb with Q3o and that stack.

You don't know he has Q3o when you bluff the river. Also, are your plays consistent with a big hand? He could call with a lot less than TPNK if he thinks you are bluffing.

Also, my point was that in general, making a large river bluff is usually not a good play. Often a smaller bet looks more like a value bet, and you are getting much better odds that way.

It does not look like you are representing anything. If you had a set, KJ or two pair you would have probably raised the flop and you would have definitely raised the turn.

I guess you could be representing AT/KT/JT but if you had those hands would you really full pot the river? I mean, i guess so if you know he will call with Q3 but most players are betting less with a rivered trips.

It looks to me like you have a naked jack for an OESD that whiffed...

I agree that you should raise his donk bet on the turn. It is such a clear blocking bet that it is simply begging to get raised.

Also, i'd prefer if you didn't post results and this probably belongs in LSMTT but whatever
