I understand the 3-bet criticism - I am apt to do that with slightly better hands (AQs would qualify) or when out of position. In position I mix calls and 3-bets in this situation.
I don't get the check-through idea though. Are you hoping ace high holds up? If not, why even call the flop? I'm not getting odds to draw (although I may still be good there) - my conception of the hand was that the draw was in my back pocket, but floating with intent to steal was the main objective. I feel like he had me beat too - maybe nines or tens, something like that. (He did fold to the river bet after much thought.)
Now, as played through the turn - what do you think is the optimal river bet? I don't like to go pot sized or larger because I think it smells too much like a bluff to the kind of players that are always trying to make hero calls. I also like to maximize my profits on a bluff, so if I can get away with a cheaper move I will. $8 was my low end here, but I would usually never go much higher than $10 - it just looks desperate to me. What is your standard bet there?
