a bad bluff?

[zinn0]

I was trying to bluff this guy off his hand and thought I had the hand to do it. He slowed down and checked to me on 5th once I showed the third , so I took over trying to get him to leave. Apparently he was married to his 2 pair. 6th had me showing a 4 flush, and also had a hidden gutshot draw with a pair of 3's.

I thought that my hand was pretty strong heading to the river, (I had outs baby!), alas, I didn't hit, but tried to bluff once again. Should I even call the bring in here with 3s?

first off, i think this is a pretty clear fold on 3rd, you're 6's are dead, pair of 3s isnt anything special ... i'd play this hand with a king or an ace in the hole, but thats about it

second, yes good bluff, but it'd be a good idea to put in your notes that this guy calls down to the river when his opponent has 4 suited cards showing if he has 2 pair on 4th

most more sensible players in his shoes would probably fold 5th, and definetly 6th ... there are 3 dead diamonds showing, which really isn't enough to justify a calldown

try again another day, you had a lot of outs to hit to give you a better hand on that river
