Has some history w villain with some preflop wars. He 3bet called 25bb A8 vs me and had mentioned he recognised my picture on fr and knew who I was on .eu so I knew he percieved me as a reg.

When he raised the river the only hand that made sense to me was Ax to get some more value from me (He had made some thin valueraises earlier) and am I crazy in turning my hand into a bluff here to rep a boat/trips etc. I know that when I check-call the flop I eliminate 44, 88, JJ in my range as I would prob bet them w the draws out there but I feel that he would not expect me to bluff here.

Thoughts?

I think you were pretty lucky and I don't know why you think he would fold Ax there? With that line I would snap you off on that board. The only hand you rep is JJ, which you might check back the flop with - although the dryness would make a bet more profitable. I guess you might check 54s? To me, it looks like a pretty bad bluff unless you think he has caught the J and has more showdown value than your tt. But if I was him and I even had a J, I'd be thinking you can't have JJ pretty much ever if I have the J and I'd probably call.

I have been working a lot in turning hands into bluffs on the river which have showdown value but less than the villain's perceived range - you need a line which makes much more sense, reps a broader range and is credible. I don't think you meet any of those criteria. In short,I think it is a bad bluff and a good reg would call any A and probably J too.
