I am in the middle of a hot streak. Have won a quite a few pots uncontested after genuinely hitting cards. Have not shown down a hand for a while

A couple of players at the table mentioned in chat that they think i am bluffing.
This hand comes up....

***** Hand History for Game 2518035575 *****
$100 NL Texas Hold'em - Saturday, September 10, 18:10:10 EDT 2005
Table Table 36601 (Real Money)
Seat 2 is the button
Total number of players : 10
Seat 2: Sctty2Hottie ( $86.50 )
Seat 3: SanRam ( $120.25 )
Seat 4: FLFlyer ( $72.89 )
Seat 6: Zaksplat ( $73.05 )
Seat 7: nairb09 ( $141.25 )
Seat 9: I_heart_AA ( $154 )
Seat 10: Erryns ( $125.22 )

SanRam posts small blind [$0.50].

FLFlyer checks.
taffy_jones bets [$12].
>You have options at Table 37102 Table!.
>You have options at Table 37102 Table!.
>You have options at Table 37102 Table!.
SanRam calls [$12].
FLFlyer calls [$12].
** Dealing River ** [ 5h ]
SanRam checks.
FLFlyer is all-In.($55.89)

Even though, hadn't been paying as much attention as i should have at the table, I know this guy FLFlyer has played 95% of his starting cards and I have seen him push on at least 2 previous occasions without a showdown.
Has this guy just taken it upon himself to test out the "he is bluffing" theory?
pocket Jacks eh?

Personally, I'd probally fold

to many hands beat you.

If I flopped the nuts, and I think one of the players in the pot is bluffing a lot, I might play that way....

Straight draw on flop, flush draw on river..

On the other hand, if i was to pick a time to bluff into someone I think is bluffing, a straight and flush on the table would be a good time to do it.

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

Fold, I think he had Kx of hearts. Consider pushing the turn or at least overbetting it pretty large.

He has a flush. You are beat. Fold
Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces

Need to Push the turn.

You really need a read, but as it is...

Call or AI.

Scared of Qhigh Straight, but if you get done on Ahigh or flush you've only got yourself to blame.

Well, this is what happened.........

taffy_jones calls [$55.89].
SanRam folds.
FLFlyer shows [ Js, 9h ] a pair of jacks.
taffy_jones shows [ Td, Jd ] two pairs, jacks and tens.
taffy_jones wins $160.78 from the main pot with two pairs, jacks and tens.

I know it looked like it was a bad call, but my gut instinct was screaming at me to call and i have decided to trust my gut more.
I knew the guy was an idiot who seemed to want to give his money away. I figured SanRam was on a draw and would fold.

All i need to do now is learn how to trust my gut when it tells me that my 2 pair is beat.
pocket Jacks eh?

Too bad I didn't get here until you posted the reply. That's an easy call if the table thinks that you've been bullying them. Especially if it looked like someone was getting pissed at you. Cryinig call, but still fairly easy to make.

A table that thinks you're bluffing is a perfect setting for a TAG plr. I will personally show a hand once in a while but I don't think it matters in 25NL. They just assume you are bluffing alot of the time.
