When you don't care if a bluff gets called.
I thought this was an interesting hand.
I get bet into in an unraised pot from the blinds by a relatively unknown player. It's unlikely he has a very strong hand since he's in the small blind, so I decide to make a raise bluff, but he calls quickly. On the turn, rather than make a substantial bluff, I made what was almost more of a value bet, as I know he probably can't call a big river bluff. If he raises, I fold immediately, but I don't really even mind if I get called, as this reinforces the idea that he's weak (next to folding), and actually makes my hand appear stronger. He calls, and I take it down on the river as expected:
