No information on villain.

My thinking in this hand was that the board favours my range over villains, I have lots of trips, sets and over pairs and I'm looking to fold out villains smaller pairs, A high and the odd random KQ that has over called.

Is this a good or bad bluff spot?

I'll post hand results later.

Just noticed there's a sub forum for hand analysis! Can mods please delete this one. Thanks.

my opinion is that you played ok, and I often make moves like that

judging from his preflop activity, Vilian's range probably looks like 66+, AJs+, KQs, AJo+ and your equity is 33%. On the flop, he probably caught a set of 888 on this and crushed you.

Hmm, in a case like this, you can say it's 'bluffable'. But I don't think it's perfect chance to bluff. The basic of bluff is using inherent fear and belief of faux reality in villain. To do that you need to have plausible flop. But the flop was just a normal common case. Rather maybe your opponent would think he was bluffing in slow play, as if he has some full house or set. But it always happens in poker. So the conclusion is, yes, it's bluffable but not a perfect case.
