    Because he seems unwilling to fold. If he hasn't folded yet, you'd probably have to put so much pressure on him just to get him to fold so as to make this a pretty unprofitable bluffing situation for you.

    Plus, if you showed down A-K here, the table is going to be more willing to pay off your big pairs, which you'll be playing identically.

    Table image really isnt an issue on Party 200 NL (not until 400 NL does it start to matter), but I see your point

    Looks like a missed flush draw anyway your hand might even hold up.

    You fired twice and were called both times, time to slow down.
