Meh i called this hand preflop with intent to steal on the flop if all low cards came. I was putthing him on AK/AQ. When he led out with a big bet and i raised it he folded. Good play?

Fine play. But don't ever show like that.
Showing a total bluff is one thing. But showing the best hand often gives away more information than you would like.

I'm in the 'don't show' school. My thing is that I want my opponents to think that they made a good laydown.
I generally measure a bluff in pot odds do determine how good it is, the better odds you get away with the better the bluff.

When he holds AK/AQ it is the best hand... no bluff there

On a sidenote, i had been stealing pots all night long on that table and finally decided to show one. Just got bored of getting no action you could say. Who would with only a pair of 4's!
