    Villian is a good regular that check raises flops at 19% and has a high sd of 30%.

    I think his c/r range is some gutshots, nut fd's, combo fd's, sets, and two pair.

    I felt this turn card would give some of his range some sd value but i felt that ace stregthens my range alot aswell.  I can rep nut straight, top set, aces up as bottom of my value range.

    With those nut hands in my range I decided it was a good spot to use my stack size to run a big bluff.

    Is this a great play or just spew?

    I don't think I like the flat with a gutter.  First his range is stronger on A TT JJ board unless we expect him to 3 bet TT+ for value from the blinds.  

    Second, when we call on the flop we rep AJ or worse.  On the turn the raise is too small if I decided to rep aces up I would raise large enough to leave a 3/4 pot shove on the river, maybe less behind if I'm not planning on shoving and want to make it HARD as F for a weak flushdraw or Jx, QQ, or other draw to continue.  remember if he knows you know he c/r a lot just 3bet bluff with these marginal hands and start 3betting for value lighter (obv).  also on dryer boards flat with monsters as well as pair type hands that don't want to get it in.
