Very read dependant.

I doubt 3-barrel semibluffs are +EV. But, if I were ever to do this from the blinds, I think you picked a good hand to do it with, maybe, sorta.

Standard? Looks like he was drawing too, and it's nice to get Ace high to fold here. But then again, you often have the best hand when they fold the river.

results: he pushed, probably with a 4. Moral of this story: fire 3 barells with position.
