Bad bluff or just unlucky?

Villain was flatting most hands preflop and c-betting a fair bit when he min-raised.

    bad bluff.

    when you are sitting OOP bluffing has a much greater risk because you don't have the info of the opponent.

    as you check the turn the hero himself might be thinking you too had 7x and were betting the river as the 10 has now paired.

    the way to have bluffed this would be when your sitting in position if the hero choose to check the turn and you then made a bet that he calls then follow through with another bet on the river the chances are he would then believe you have the trips but this bet could easily be 7x

    Kinda repping nothing on the river. You've rarely got the 10, so I would expect most pairs and A highs to call here. 

    Probably 3betting a hand as strong as KQs pre and proceeding from there.

    Yeah, as others said, it's a bad bluff. I mean what are you repping? Hard to believe the ten given it just paired on river and you did nothing on turn. Any PP and ace high is likely calling you in HU play. As it was with 2-pair ace kicker it was never going through. hehe

    Oh, and HU with KQ I'm 3-betting that small open raise preflop. Even if you aren't ahead in this example, you normally would be.
