Default Re: Bluffing in 3-bet pot

I have seen Brian do this w/ 65s against one who he thought 3-bet to much. That's the reason I wanted to try it out.

You're not applying Brian's concept correctly. In order to excute this play optimally, you need a good post-flop read on your villain. Brian shoved on his gutshot because he had a read that the villain plays aggressively with weak hands his strong hands passively. Once you have that read, you can safely shove over his cbet after he 3bets pre because there's a decent chance he's FOS and will fold to your shove. However, if you don't know how he plays his strong and weak hands PLUS you're out of position, you need to keep it standard and give him the benefit of the doubt.
