I've found myself in this situation many times.
I 3 bet out of position, then I do cbet and they float me. Many times I've seen small pocket pairs, top pairs and even backdoor projects.
On the turn sometimes I check to give up if I don't get a card that helps my hand. Or I keep with semibluffing if I do.
Many times this turn bet works because I eliminate many small pocket pairs and backdoor projects who were floating me from the flop.
On the river sometimes is difficult to know if I have to do that last bet or give up.
Many times I've done it I've lost because villain calls me with the best hand.
In this particular hand I felt the villain didn't have the A and was weak, so I tried to make him fold and I was very surprised on the showdown when he showed me that backdoor project.
So how would you play this spot?
