 I have a taggy image, haven't got out of line, running like 20/14 ish. Villain is solid tag as well. Not many hands with him andhe hasn't gotten out of line either.

Is this a +EV bluff if there is such a thing?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

UTG ($196.50)
Hero ($100.10)
CO ($60)
Button ($161.05)
SB ($78.35)
BB ($103.65)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 8, 8. CO posts a blind of $1.
1 fold, Hero raises to $5, 2 folds, SB calls $4.50, BB calls $4.

Flop: ($16) 9, K, 9 (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets $5, Hero raises to $20, SB folds, BB calls $15.

Turn: ($56) 6 (2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero calls $10.

River: ($76) T (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $65.1 (All-In), BB folds.

Final Pot: $141.10

Re-visit this assessment.

Why not bump the turn?

btw when ur bluffing a tag reg, you pretty much never wanna take a really unstandard line as ppl tend to call when they r confused imo.

 If i shove the turn though i'm pretty sure he calls. He said he folded AK after my river shove, I'm pretty sure i'd play a flush draw exactly how I played above and I think thats what he put me on when he folded. Did AK just make a bad fold?

How can a solid TAG mess up AK so badly here? Maybe your read was off. I would make a BIG note on this guy that weak=weak.

Against known opponents I would raise the turn with almost any two and silently tell him "to play like a man".

 Something tells me you weren't Hero in this hand

If it was actually you then you might have had the best hand. Ppl making this donk-lead-call play often have no idea what they're doing.

As played I think the river shove is fine
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

 if he's not going to fold to a turn shove give up. Taking unstandard lines with bluffs can work out at 100nl, but anyone who can read a hand for shit is going to eat you up.
I mean here, yeah if you're going to bluff every club and that's it, then fine, but it's not like he never has a club draw either.
