I'd rather call him down UI then put in extra bets OOP against him. if we get capped we're screwed unless we hit a heart

Against a loose player who won't fold a pair I call down. Against someone who will fold less than top pair I raise.

I'd like it a whole bunch more on a different board.

This one is too coordinated to be pulling this. He will often have a pair + a draw here, and will call down. Plus, you have no info on if he's capable of folding or if he's a showdown fiend.

I like semi-bluff 3-betting turns from time to time, and I think it's a very profitable play against the right opponents on the right type of board.

what he said. we have little to no fold equity (all of which exists on a 3-bet and bet river, and that's slim and costly) here, so why bother? i can't imagine we're ahead, unless he's semibluffing a draw as well, which i don't think is likely considering we came out twice in a row.

new question: what types of opponents are ok for 3-betting a semibluff? what sorts of boards?

i would think my answer would be very, very few, and more dependent on the player than the board. i pretty much only use this move against players i don't like playing against, so if i get in a situation where i want to use this shorthanded, i'm switching tables.

If there are two things LHE players like, they are weed and pornography. The third would be kittens. LHE does not appear on the list.

I don't like the 3-bet here. Like Keith said, you're out of position, so getting capped means we're screwed without hitting a Q or a heart. Plus, if he calls and we miss, we're likely spewing a bet on the river by bluffing again. (I just don't see 3-betting the turn then checking the river)

Almost exclusively TAGs. But anyone capable of making moves, or raising the turn with less than stellar holdings is a candidate. They also must be able to lay down their hand when it looks like their beat.

For example, I raise in the CO with Ks9s, TAG defends.
Flop [Qs4c2s] Bet call.
Turn 5c. I bet, TAG raises, I 3-bet.

He could have a pp, or be semibluffing Ax himself. He may also lay down a TP hand like Q9 or something.
