Help: Folded Best Hand - Bad Read

[mypokermare]

1.3 NLHE Cash Game. $60 buyin minimum $300 max. Playing at table for approx. 1 hour. My opponent was consistently playing solid hands. When he hits, he normally bets aggressive, including moving all in. Most of his showdowns - he won. My Position: Cutoff His Position: 2 seats to the right of me. He had to act first. I raised preflop - only 2 bets with AK unsuited. This was a pretty aggressive table and I wanted to hide the strength of my hand. I was pretty sure that someone would reraise me preflop, but it didn't happen. 3 callers including my opponenet. Flop - KJ3 - rainbow 2 players checked and my opponent bet 4 bets. I reraised to $40 on top of his $12. He thought about it and he called. The TURN brought 8 (don't remember suit). My opponent moved all in covering me (approximately $80-$90). I couldn't place him on a hand. I thought maybe KJ or a set. He didn't seem concerned about my hand at all, he just appeared strong (which obviously was his motive). I took a very long time to think about it. I even asked him, if I fold, will you show. He said yes (which was probably a clue??) I ended up folding because I had not seen him bluff anyone. Nonetheless, he showed me JQ. He totally bluffed me. I realize that he probably was successful because I played pretty tight until this hand. Can you give me feedback on how I could have detected a bluff? Thanks!

Re: Help: Folded Best Hand - Bad Read I may be approaching this in the wrong way but i think the main problem for you was your mindset. If he's really over aggressive then basically vs those players the aim is to hit a premium hand and hang on for dear life and in this case top pair top kicker is a big hand on a very dry flop. Also if your intention was to induce him into a bluff - then don't fold when they actually go all in. You did the right things in the hand, but i'm not sure for the right reasons or knew what you exactly expected to achieve. How to improve these things? experience and studying the game.
