Hello everyone :f_drink:,
this time I got kind of a different hand, where I decided to try and pull off a big semi-bluff OTT. I would like to get some opinions about whether this is a terrible play or if it's at least somewhat plausible.
So far, Villain has looked like a reg, an aggressive restealer (3 out of 9), CBets OTF a lot. Preflop I go for a pretty standard OR from the CO, get 3Bet by Villain and decide to defend as I have position and Villain seems like he likes to resteal aggressively.
Flop is somewhat OK, I know Villain will CBet almost always, so I am going to float as I got middle pair and backdoor FD, possibly trying to stab at the pot OTT. OTT I pick up a FD. When Villain skips second barrel OTT, I think he has either a pocket pair (TT, QQ, KK), spade FD or complete air (sets would've definitely continued betting, same with big Ace hands like AKo, AKs, AJo, AJs).
At this point, I am thinking how much to bet or whether to take a free card. In the end, I decide to overbet-shove, because the size of the pot as related to our stacks is very awkward. I don't want to give any possible spade FDs any kind of decent odds to contemplate a call (or even raise-shoving with spade FD by the Villain himself) and the texture of the board is so bad that I don't think I get paid OTR by his mediocre hands if I hit my Flush. I think I should be able to fold out all the mentioned pocket pairs, spade FDs, even some big Ace hands he might have himself, as well as all his air. I am possibly representing a big Ace hand like AKo, 2P or sets.
Originally, I was pretty angry at myself, but after thinking about it, this play makes more sense to me, so I would like some input.
