Good spot to bluff river or is it spewage?

[loveinvain]

Sorry if this looks ugly, converter sucks.

Something I've been trying to add to my otherwise super nitty game is the occasional river bluff. This seemed like a good spot. I put villain on, somekind of mediocre hand that he wasn't proud of.

Whaddyall think?

Villain is unknown.

But, if i'm reading correctly, and you reraised to $13 with 89 pf, then bet a measly 4 bucks into a $22 pot on the flop, the whole thing sucks.

I think betting the river is fine, but you're mainly aiming to get him to lay down draws that missed and weak pairs so I think you can bet a bit less.

I can't understand what is happening preflop. Did you limp/reraise? Please clarify.

As someone mentioned, your flop and turn bets are way too small - they don't really accomplish anything. If I was villain, I'd be calling you here on the river with almost anything here, maybe even bottom pair. Your line looks just like a flush draw that wanted a good price on the flop and turn, then when the river bricked decided to get tough and try to steal it with a big bet. No good hands would bet the flop and turn this way with the draw on board. If villain is retarded then I suppose it's okay, but I don't really like anything in this hand to be honest.

If I got the preflop action correct it's limped 4-ways. Hero bets pot ($4) on the flop after the 3 players checked. Hero gets called in one spot and bets 3/4 on the turn ($8 in $12), he gets called and pots the river.

Oh, that doesn't seem so bad at all then. What is the Hero bets $13 part in the preflop action?

OP - if you can fix the post or repost by hand or something we can probably give you better feedback.

That makes sense. Give up on the river. Looks like he has a king.

Yes, that's esactly right. Pet pot (4) into 3 opponents, bet 3/4 pot into 1 opponent and bluffed tiver (though the bluff was a bit less than the pot).

I'd go back and fix the original post but I can't find the edit button for some reason. This has happened before, have others had this problem or am I going nuts?
