Was this attempted bluff terrible?
TheSnapper:
Agree with Will, Steve and Marty. Preflop call of his 3 bet is awful.
As a general rule at this level, bluffing has little value and should be used only in very rare and specific spots and as you noted yourself, versus the correct opponent. Profit at 50nl is almost exclusively had from folding when behind and getting maximum value from your winning hands. They just cant fold so BET BET BET, even with weak top pair hands you can extract 3 streets of value from the correct opponent.

exactly...you just can"t bluff at this level, esp as it makes no sense in this case.
Just wait for premium and fast play to the max!

You can bluff at these levels, but you have to make it seem real. Its not like the oppoent was a station in this hand, its just that shozes bluff timing was way off. The river here was not a scary card for 88s, and there were no draw cards to represent off the flop anyway, so it was just an ill timed bluff. I even think the opponent played the river well to check and induce a bluff that he is easily gonna pick off.....
