We're trying to force mistakes, right?
Hmmm...you may very well be right. Here was my thought OTF when I floated with the intention of raising OTT if many cards that increased my equity came: my pair of 3s were good more often than not, but I didn't want to call down with bottom pair to realize my equity. Now that I think about it, I basically agree with you (and others who have suggested it) that I should have raised more to get more FE, as I would much rather fold out better (or worse hands) than showdown with my perceived SDV hand.

Noted. So I should just never call this PF? A question: isn't this the same kind of logic for playing small (closer) SCs and PPs? My perceived IOs were large in that I believed he would multiple-barrel this situation in a high number of situations. I do flop draws less often and 63s probably flops many more marginal situations and hard to play spots than say 65s...so I see what you mean.
