I am going to give this bluff a 5.
When we bluff, we base our bluffs on the value hands we have in the same spot. What value hand do you have on the river that plays this way? Why would your strong value hands Kx or better just call then bet river? What other hands would you bet the river for value expecting to get called some % of the time? Would you value bet QQ JJ?
Would you get Tx to fold vs this sizing?
did you know this V would over play 2 streets and then over fold to a bet on the river with a T? If yes then this bluff is a 10. Did you know that you had to bet 50% not 30% to get them to fold A high--because if they are folding everything but Kx or better why are we betting half pot? Why not save some money and bet 25% and get the same folds? This is why I gave a 5
Good job bluffing this spot, but you may want to share your thoughts next time so that we can rate your thinking not just your actions.

I highly doubt a lot of thought goes into selecting these kinds of bluffs. Basically villain shows weakness on the river so hero decides to put in a value bet like they have a Kx that's been calling down villain's bets on previous streets. This time villain seems like they happen to hold some air, probably a flush draw that bricked. Really not sure how this rates from 1-10. What are we using to calibrate that scale? It's not a particularly creative bluff but it's pretty effective at getting Ax and maybe even TX and lower pairs to fold.

Preflop
First thing to notice is, that this game has a very large ante. I am not quite sure, what the best way is to adjust to this, but for sure we need to fight much more to pick up all that dead money either by widening our range or using bigger sizing or both. So I am definitely on board with raising here, and maybe it could have been even bigger. But it worked in the sense, we got it heads-up with a big overlay paying $0.1 to win $0.32.
Flop
The Villain leads out, which is also called a donk bet, because we were the previous street aggressor. The first decision is, if we want to just call and try to complete our draw, or if we want to put the hammer down and start a bluff right now. Both have merits, but in position it does often make more sense to just call and then potentially start a bluff later, if he slow down and check.
Turn
When we just called on the flop, it makes the most sense to continue with the same passive line. We also have less equity now with only one card to come, and his range is stronger after betting again.
River
We miss, and he check. Its a pretty brick runout, so I dont think, he is checking a hand like top pair to check-fold. Which mean, that if we bet, we are mostly getting his busted draws to fold. There are however some of those, we lose to, like the A high flushdraw or flushdraw + pair type hands. Or he could have the same hand, in which case we can bet to get him off a chop. Half pot need to work 1 in 3 times and should get these kind of hands to fold. So I think, this bluff is overall fine.
