You draw one to 'bluff' two pair? But once you shove, you rep a full house?

In this case, you're not really drawing to try to improve, you're drawing to give the other players hope.
D1 could be two pair, trips, a straight draw, a flush draw etc.
Then you hope opponents (1 or more) hit something juicy.
Here they folded, and showed KKK

That's 3x today on 4 mtt.. The first JJ vs 55 The second is this and the third AK vs 87 on all three I had heaps for ITM and played to increase the chance for the final. It hasn't passed, I've had enough ♦

And since I was ITM on the bubble, I saved myself with AA... A few hands ago I got shorted with K6 vs AK

it will be better after the break. i guess ♦

...which were only good for half the pot, but they were up against a full house and a nut low in the end, so that's something.
