Being Stubborn Get Expensive

No post yesterday because I was playing live (not very successfully). Went out rather early in our monthly $40 buy-in MTT (42 players this month). I then went to the cash table and played till the wee hours of the morning and only won $11 there.

Today's dumb thing has us once again trying to bluff the unbluffable. Our villain here is 60/53/.08. Players like this (very loose preflop and very passive postflop) are generally good candidates to bluff but when our villain bets out here we need to fold unless we have a real hand. After we raise the flop, betting the turn is just throwing money away. The only good thing about this hand is that he bets again on the end (confirming we are beaten) and this allows us to muck without showing our trash.
