And, if so, how crazy do you get with it?

Right now, 95 of clubs is the nuts to me and I'm pulling some really sick bluffs. Since I only do this with one hand combination, I don't think the times where I don't get the villain to fold will affect my win rate that much since it'll be so rare. The image I get from this, though, will help me a lot in the 92% of the times where I'll actually have AA or KK instead. With that in mind, is doing this not only fun but actually necessary to balance our strategy and, if so, at what stakes does it become profitable? I'm playing $25NL btw.

J9 (suited or off) and 5 6 suited seem to play well for me.
However, when I say it 'plays well', I mean it tends to hit boards quite hard and pay me off...not that people fold to a pot size bet when I bluff with it....

I think your hand history was un-necessary. Nice ballsy bluff, but you'll come unstuck bluffing there more often than you'll win. Absolutely dead to a call, no outs unless you hit your 9 to topple a pair of 8's.
