Opinions on this attempted bluff would be helpful. The guy had only sat down 3 hands ago and I had no history against him. I"m sure some people will say that if I had no idea of his stlye, I should"ve stayed clear of him. Second, I"m wondering whether I should"ve fired the turn instead of the river to show more strength then I did. (obv I"m pretty sure I should never have got myself in this spot, but no I"m there, views would be useful)
Also, should the villain have laid his hand down?
