Should I stop making these plays or was this an ok bluff? I just can't tell, with hindsight, whether this was a good spot to try this.

Villain is totally unknown and I have not tangled with him at all and have not seen him get out of line in the couple of orbits he has been here.

I have no stats on villain.

Game #3576514333: Hold'em NL (£0.15/£0.25) - 2007/03/23 - 23:12:58 (GMT)
Table "Zinnia" Seat 6 is the button.
Seat 2: Hero (£29.20 in chips)
Seat 3: Dee1892 (£19.50 in chips)
Seat 4: C1234e (£55.24 in chips)
Seat 5: Giorgios (£23.55 in chips)
Seat 6: Budderz (£24.75 in chips)
Hero: posts small blind £0.15
Dee1892: posts big blind £0.25

 A wise man once told me c/r'ing a flop and checking the turn was the weakest play in poker. I don't understand why you think you are bluffing and why your hand wouldn't still be good.

I honestly don't know. I didn't think anyone was calling the flop with a hand that I beat. I thought villain was on an overpair or 77 and could not see him calling a reasonable river bet given the texture of the board.

Re: the C/R & turn check. It was a weak play and I did it because I was unsure of exactly what I was going to do. I hadn't made my mind up whether i was going to bluff or not. I am still trying to learn the best spots for bluffing and controlling the pot, which I think go hand in hand.

Thanks for your comments. I d appreciate them, good or bad. (yours were good by the way)

 A wise man also said that if you're gonna make a big move, it's very preferable to have a read on your opponent.
