I had a read here so it wasn't a complete crazy move. Villain was TAG, and when he raised my flop bet i knew he was holding 2 pair or a set. Possibly AK but i don't think he'd make that play with anything less than two pair here. That being said....

PokerStars Game #2734363436: Hold'em No Limit ($0.25/$0.50) - 2005/10/05 - 18:51:32 (ET)

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $40.75 | Rake $1.95
Board [8d Td Ad Kd]
Seat 1: Amberlab (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 2: One in Black (big blind) folded on the Turn
Seat 3: Every_Flop folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: AgTray08 folded before Flop
Seat 5: HitMePat collected ($38.80)
Seat 6: buckhoya (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

With the 3 suited flop and being able to put him on 2 pair or a set fairly confidently, logic lead me to believe he was not holding a diamond. I decided to call his flop raise and represent the flush if a diamond fell. Looks like it worked.

After i showed it the table started chattering about it being a crazy bluff but when i was making the move i felt it was a pretty good play given the read. Anyone else play this the same?

this is good play.
I remember a post (it may even be in the sticky) about how to move your play on from set farming and chasing draws. This is a good bluff play and i recommend you do it more often if you have a good read. Obviosuly, dont use it to often but definatly add it to the list of tricks.
