Hero(UTG) just under 200bb
Villain(BTN) 100bb effective
Hero 3x's 44 ($.15)
Villain 3x raises ($.45)
Hero calls
flop: 10 6 6r
Pot:$.97
Villain bets just under half pot ($.46)
Hero calls
Turn is 8 of hearts bringing possible bdfd
Villain check
Hero check
Turn comes off suit 9
Hero checks
Villain bets just under Pot ($.90)
This is where I butcher the hand and things get messy, I think the standard thing to do, in 3bet pot once the turn goes check check is to put out a call as it says AJs+ but I instead decide to put in a massive raise hoping to fold out his hands that had me beat like a 55 or A9s or A8s or prompt a hero from AKs. My question is should we ever be bluffing in this spot or just calling?
I reraised to $3.60 btw which... yea

how is villian btn if you check back turn? It's important to know the positions.

One question: what would you be bluffing Villain off? Seems odd that Villain would want to re-raise a preflop UTG initial raiser with 55, 66, or 77. Villain could have reraised preflop with a medium Ax if he thought you were opening too wide. Those things are possible, but don't seem likely enough to make it worth the bluff.
