My intention on these hands is I am just looking to stop the light 3 betting. I have no intention of showing any of these hands down. I have chosen the weaker PP's hand because I may also hit my set to bust their AA/KK/QQ.
Three of the hands you posted are just button blind steals where you got played back at, so the odds are good that they have marginal hands, and you have positional advantage. If you are routinely doing this OOP (Hand 2), that's spew, IMO.
I mean, just look at Hand 2. You're OOP with a weak hand and not enough implied odds to call for a set. The board is a bad one for you, but you continue anyway, give a free card on the turn, and get lucky that a blank hits on the river. This allows you to bluff the river, which could easily get picked off by KJ, A9, TT, etc. that tried to control the pot size. Plus, you'd have to fold a better hand to anyone with the courage to double barrel. If you are able to have any success doing this on a regular basis, it's because your opponents are predictable and bad at playing in position, not because the strategy is good in general.
