example 4How about hero bets turn? Due to rock in play we have enormous FE. SB and BB can't really call because of the rock behind and if they had a reasonable hand they would lead out on the turn. We could easy represent to them set (witch we slow played) or Kx to the rock (I don;t think rock thinks about hero cold call range, were Kx is unlikely because of domination problem, so he could put hero on Kx.
in case of call from rock- we have many outs to improve and if 9 non heart shows on river- we could extract nice value if rock improves to set of 99.

only could be of reverse implied odds if heart comes on river and rock leads out, but I mean - that was the goal of this speculative hand from beginning to play spots like this one.and... if rock or one of blinds decide to call hero's turn bet, then 2nd barrel should take the pot down(likely hand ranges of villains should be 99-QQ ) It would be hard time to call hero's 2nd barrel with marginal hand due to fact that hero was betting in 3 players on the turn.
guys I would be very glad if someone could reply on this. Is that line could be good in long run?

betting flop is a pretty good play, cause UTG c/f most of the time and SB/BB cant even c/r their sets.as played betting the turn is best play by far, cause were bluffing eight high with a ton of equity and foldequity
