Not enough details given.

Assuming the BB checks you're basically asking here should you cbet with 2 overcards on a board with 3 to a straight against an unknown.
Standard would pretty much always be bet 3/4 pot and fold if raised. This changes alot based upon opponent/your image/recent history etc.

Shit, sorry guys Hand History Converter fucked up. Basicly he bet like .15 cents into a .6 cent pot and then I reraised to .9 and he called. I called his minbet on turn which was a low card. River was a 2 and he checked so i bet like 1.6 into a 2~ ish pot.

flop raise is okay, i dont like the river bluff though

It would be nice to know if this guy min-raises with the nutz or just to steal a pot easily. Without a read I'd probably assume he has a half decent hand like top pair, or maybe even 2 pair or the straight.

Your bluff doesn't add up for a few reasons. Firstly, if you had flopped the nut straight here, you'd want your entire stack in by the end, and by him calling the PF and flop you'd happily raise again on the turn, knowing there is a fair chance he will just call again. Also if you had A8o, you would not let him get a free card so easily to complete his straight, so you'd be betting strong also. By not raising the turn, I think you've shown weakness and I would just check behind and squirm at the way he played T8, or laugh if he has KT.
