Thoughts about this play would be appreciated. Villain is easy to get an read on as he always min-raise flop when he hes TPTK or better. In other situations, wether he is on a draw or holding TPWK or worse he is inclined to just call bets. Of course my assumptions need not to bet 100% accurate, but this is how he acted the last 3 hours. I think this is a great play to do against an obvious opponent, but then again opinions differ greatly.

By the way, the reason I call this a "bluff" (would of course be a value bet if he held something worse than an ace) is that I strongly believe opponent to have an ace with a no-kicker.

If she's a calling station with an ace and no kicker, aren't you just wasting rake? Or does she generally just chase her kicker to the river and fold if it doesn't hit (in which case a big bet from you gives you a decent pot when she folds)?

She is no doubt a calling station and is quite easy to read. Of course I could be wasting rake if she decides to call with her would-be-ace, but this is very marginal to consider when you have to believe she will at least on some percent of the occasions lay her hand down. I dont know what the calling stations actually is thinking when they decide to chase/keep honest/whatever but what I have noticed several times is that they can actally be intimidated if you keep showing strenght for three streets.
