But my hand does suck relative to their ranges. Basically you're telling me to turn my hand into a bluff then aren't you? I won't be getting value from a lot of hands. I might get a call from QQ or JJ for one street but that's it. I figured with the flop check I can make lesser hands feel more confident in their value.

Edit: also I'm not sure if this particular 3-bet OOP is showing much strength at all. It's such a standard resteal situation.

If I'm called I really don't think I can shut down. The pot's gonna be huge.

Why is c/c better? Do you think he's turning a lesser hand into a bluff? Plus I look so full of shit with my line I think I could be looked up with a hero call fairly often.

Maybe I'm wrong. Not trying to jump on your suggestions. But this hand got me thinking a lot for some reason so I'm just telling you why I feel I took an alright line. I'd mostly like to hear why betting the flop is better. And why c/c the river is better.
