    Default Big bluff in reraised pot - is this spew?

    Villain is 23/20 ish, I've been 3 betting him tons and he has folded to all of them so far.

    What do you guys think his most likely hands are? With that said, is this spew?

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $1/$2
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $197.75
    CO: $377.37
    Button: $128
    SB: $256.40
    Hero: $288.40

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with A J
    3 folds, SB raises to $8, Hero raises to $24, SB calls.

    Flop: 5 4 K ($48, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $35, SB calls.

    Turn: 6 ($118, 2 players)
    SB bets $55, Hero raises all-in $229.4

    i wonder if he takes that line mostly with hands he intends to fold to a turn raise, or mostly with hands he wants to play for stacks.
    if it was me i'd be playing for stacks most times, since i'd at least capture ur cbet, and it also sets up a <pot size river push, or might induce a bluff since lots of ppl do this with like QQ. i tend to just c/f the turn with QQ, but might even play that for stacks with that if the opp seemed too out of line.

    so what i'm saying is i think it's a spew but not horrible.

    Based simply on his betting I like this.

    I see a lot of ppl taking this line with the thinking being "fold to a raise".

    However, I'm having a very tough time putting him on a hand. So in that case, I'd tend to be a little scared. I can see him doing this w QQ/JJ/1010 no club...
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I would have bet larger on the flop and just given up on the turn if he donks into you like this. I would prefer to at least have some outs when making a huge bluff like this whereas here you could be drawing completely dead.

    my strategy in hu pots vs the pfr is to pretend its impossible to flop a flush.

    That being said I rarely rep a flush as the pfr.

    call me crazy I think this is spewy.

    The only thing I can think of is that opp has KQ. He wouldn't be that stupid to steal without a premium hand if you have 3-betting him lots. You made the strongest play possible but if I would be opp I'll call if my KQ has 1x club in it.
