XB river IP in 3B pot vs CS
Doubt about the xb river. Should i've bluffed river to make any middle pairs fold or was this an ok xb as my hand still got some sd value vs some ovc?

The 3bet is slightly too big especially considering villain's stack size. In position, you don't mind playing with a higher stack-to-pot ratio since you are kind of dictating how much money goes into the pot.
Flop cbet is OK, but if you want to bluff I believe turn is much better, it puts villain is a tough spot even with flushes (small pocket pairs having a spade) but then you need to shove river I think.
As played I don't think you have showdown value on the river but I would not bet, it's not very credible.
I found that double barrel bluffing these is highly profitable on turn. Mp has little to no offsuit hands, so you are almost only scared of flopped flushes.
You can go smaller against a 3.5x from utg, but not that big a deal i think.
Id avoid bet check bet as a bluff here.
Thanks!
