I was going to post this in the "brags" section, but I thought that I might as well get this hand analysed at the same time. I managed to pull a very efficient river bluff: My hand had basically zero showdown value and yet I managed to win the pot by only risking 20% of the pot! What are your thoughts on this?

Looks like a thin value bet on the river.

My guess is he had nothing. Probably a bigger flush draw, or 33 or something.

If you're trying to fold out literally other draws, this is actually pretty great imp.

Well, nearly all other draws have us beat. We have a hand we can't show down, so this is pretty effective at folding out everything worse than A5, which is likely more than half of his range. Since this only needs to work about once out of six times, I think it's very +EV.
