how do they do it

calling down is only better if he's going to either call the 3-bet and donk bluff the river or 4-bet bluff the turn. i expected a 30/10/1 player to do neither of these but to c/r that turn scare card at some frequency. so 3-bet for a free showdown - he may even fold a better hand. not hard to understand really.

I think Miles is right here. If he's not going to bluff again after Miles's threebet, the threebet is better than a calldown because the same number of bets go in but we protect our hand on the turn. I never thought of this before. Who had the nerve to call this a low-content thread? First time I've learnt something in weeks...

Also, although I think it is rare that a better hand will fold, I think it's significantly more common than getting bluffed again, and I think that's an EV win too.
