Preying off busted flushes is a nice way to make some extra loot even when you have nothing. The fact that he just called my flop then checked behind and led weakly on the river just wreaks of a busted flush or busted gutshot. I just bet high enough that he couldn't call. I did this many times tonight - probably added up to an extra buyin. Having a TAGG image and knowing somebody will lay down a hand is necessary.

 Capitalizing on weakness is usually a good play, unless its feigned weakness.

Renton will become famous soon enough
 you did give him infinite odds on the turn.

Did you not think he had the draw at that point?

Whenever you set a bluff up you should try to make your story add up. You check-raise the flop as the PF raiser, which is a strange play but something I do occasionally. Then you don't lead the turn? That makes no sense. The you check-raise the river. I'm lost in this hand. If I saw somebody make such a suspicious play like that I would reraise the river here with nothing. Fortunately you don't have to get too fancy at 100NL very often, but I think that you should try to make a believable bluff here. Either lead the flop, or if you're going to check-raise the flop you sure as hell better lead the turn, and maybe the river if you think he'll fold.

I figured he would check behind on the flop but then he bet weak so I reraised him. When he called, I figured I was beat so I was ready to let it go to a turn bet. It was only when he checked behind that I realized he was on a flush draw (or potential gutshot). Then he put out such a weak river bet, so I jumped on it.

I usually cbet but I mix in some checks. Since I cbet 80% of the time, they think I'm slowplaying a set when I check a flop. When I bet the turn I get folds often. In this case, it looks like a weak steal attempt so I put him to the test.

If you think he has a busted draw of some sorts or something weak then I would just bet out on the river. Although it's not completely irrational to think King high is the best hand already.

Checking turns isnt bad if it suits your style of play. Agreed this bluff doesnt make sense but it takes a decent amount of guts (not often found at 100Nl) to reraise a seeming bluff with air. Id expect this a little higher or from multitablers from higher limits
