I've been playing a little HU lately, really trying to learn it and I thought this hand was interesting. I'm more curious about calling ranges on the river then what I really had, but if this is a dumb way to post the hand let me know and I'll post my hand.
Anyway, we had only been playing 60 hands or so, but he was pretty aggressive, so I was right back, trying to get into some big pots. His stats were 45/43/15% 3bet 6% aggf. Mine were around 38/32/15%3bet.
Is this type of board a good one to bluff or bad?

You can only really beat a bluff here IMO, so if you put him on a bluff you can call with a much wider range. Checking the turn really allows him to bluff here otherwise you'd have to fill up. It is an interesting hand.
