Default Good Bluff?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1000 (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB (t28519)
Hero (t26958)
UTG (t48961)
UTG+1 (t8670)
MP1 (t20859)
MP2 (t13706)
MP3 (t18668)
CO (t45714)
Button (t57945)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t1000, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t4500</font>, MP2 folds, SB calls t3500.

Flop: (t10300) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t7000</font>, Hero calls t7000.

Turn: (t24300) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t15358 (All-In)</font>, SB folds.

Final Pot: t8942

Villain has been raising his SB constantly when nobody else plays and betting out first at a lot of hands when the pot is heads up or sometimes three-ways. He has done so and most of the time rarely had to show down his hand when he did this. Is this an ok bluff?

1) I wouldn`t raise this hand from BB (esp if limpers like limp-call)
2) What is the reason to call flop bet? And what if he bets turn again? So if I decided to bluff, I would shove this flop.

I thought that this was one of his bluffs and thought there was a chance to bluff him off on the turn. It is somewhat scarier to have someone call behind you then put out a bet afterwards (or a raise). Given my stack size though you have a very valid point.

imo you got the best turn to shove.
but are you shoving most/all turns?

edit:

but really, this post is a little too read-related to be discussion worthy.

you had a read and you went with it and you were right. good job sir.

NYTyler,

Check your BB pf. In theory your plan is sound, but implementing it costs you too many chips. Calling the flop bet is 1/4 of your stack.

Preflop and flop are a huge spew. I'd be surprised if the turn bet worked too, although it might against a SS donk that can't read hands at all. What 2 diamond hands could u have here? He's supposed to believe that you're just calling (not jamming) this flop with AKdd;AQdd;KQdd or AJo;KJo? This is a really tough sell and on the turn and u don't have enough chips left to make it a tough call IMO.
