I dont like bluffing without equity, but is this a reasonable spot to steal on the flop, despite not having backdoors at all? SB will likely give up after checking flop 3way, so I only have to make BTN fold to succeed. Sizing? I assumed I cant get away with much smaller sizing on this board vs two regs. I am deep with SB, so I can rep all sets, 88-QQ overpairs, and tons of flushdraws after calling pre.
Or just give up, and x/fold?
