The check-raise semi-bluff

People had been folding to my check-raises made by monsters all day long, so I decided to try something new.. :mischief:

Good line? I put villains on single pairs (probably top pair, poor kicker)

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($100.85)
Button ($86.47)
Hero ($84.15)
BB ($107.25)
UTG ($101)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8:spade:, K:spade:. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, MP calls $1, Button calls $1, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($4) 4:spade:, T:spade:, 3:club: (4 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $3, MP folds, Button calls $3, Hero raises to $12, BB folds, Button folds.

Final Pot: $22

good, my only suggestion is to raise your bluffs the same amount as you would raise your monsters. Also i think check raising to 12 there is a little excessive, you could tone it down to 8 or 9 imo.
