Bad steal attempt?

    Default Bad steal attempt?

    No specific reads, but something about his bets screamed to me that he didn't have anything. Any reason that pushing back was a mistake? Should I have done so sooner (i.e. on the flop)? I figured me pushing with the J would be believable after the pf raise, leading to a fold.

    This weekend made me take back what I've been saying about bluffing the unbluffable. People on party would call so much crap it sickened me.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

    Hero ($15)
    SB ($10.9)
    BB ($49.25)
    UTG ($29)
    UTG+1 ($71.6)
    UTG+2 ($45.5)
    MP1 ($36.5)
    MP2 ($69.15)
    MP3 ($9.5)
    CO ($45.5)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    7 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, SB (poster) calls $1.25, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($3.50) 8, 8, 7 (2 players)
    SB bets $1, Hero calls $1.

    Turn: ($5.50) J (2 players)
    SB bets $4, Hero calls $12.50 (All-In), SB calls $4.40 (All-In).

    River: ($26.40) A (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: $26.40

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    He already put in over half his stack... i don't try to bluff once they are pretty much committed.

    So fold then, even with a "I don't believe you have anything" read? Calling seems out of the question, because even if he doesn't have anything, neither do I...

    Should I have reraised on the flop to continue the pf aggro?
