So you think open completing is better? -I've been trying this and I like it. Reading hands becomes easier.
Or would you fold this? -I don't really like this.

Yes, it has no showdown value.</font>
Anyways, I 3-bet the turn because the second ace made it half as likely that he held an ace, and this is a nice bluffing card for him + tags like to move fellow tags off hands + this is a blind steal.
He folded. I'm pretty sure I just spewed chips and won the dick waving competition. Anyways, I guess you could call it a semi-bluff 3-bet. I could have up to ten outs if I was behind to a low pair, 9 or 7.
