bluffing the A

[Pingviini]

Bodog 10/20. Stack sizes ~2k, villain is tightish regular who playes kinda ABC (magpe) who I know from a couple european sites, I doubt he knows me and I dont think he has much of an image here.

4 handed I raise TT from button to 70 SB calls, BB (magpe) raises to 260 I call SB folds.

Flop 457r BB bet 500 I call.
turn 7 chk chk
river A, check I push AI for about 1.4k?? (about the pot)

at this point I put villain on a decent sized pair (88-KK) although he might have AQ/AK. He did check river pretty quick though. I would probably play AK/AQ about this way most of the time unless I had history with the villain.

this is perfect, he can't be comfortable with essentially all of his range from the flop

I'd prolly curse the fact that an Ace came and I'm now beating pretty much nothing, check it down and hope he was playing suited connectors or 88/99. It may seem a good card to bluff, but since he plays a big Ace rather like this, and your line doesn't look much like an Ace unless you float a lot of flops, I think you get looked up a lot. Hence spew.

I don't like this since I think you get looked up by any hand that beats you here if villian is smart.

I think you made every single decision in this hand incorrectly.

Not only that, but given description of opponent, he should fold preflop. If he's gonna call preflop he should raise flop. If he's gonna flat call flop he should bet turn. If he's gonna check turn he should check river.

When I bet the river, I hoped to represent XX, which called the preflop raise and the flop bet, in an attempt to make my opponent fold the better hands YY, ZZ, and WW. Since like no hands make sense when plugged into this sentence, I'd say the river bet is bad and I'd expect magpe to look you up with a bigger overpair here. However, I don't think magpe plays as ABC as you think he does.

Ike: If I raise the flop or bet turn my default play should be to fold to a push against an opponent like this right? Part of my faulted reasoning for playing these hands passively post flop is not to get bluff raised off of the best hand. But I dont think it happens too often. Especially on Bodog..

I have huge leaks in my game when it comes to RR pots which is why I chose to post this hand.
