I think 6bet bluffing deep is a pretty cool play when you have blockers and pick good spots for it. Obviously backfires every now and then.

Hero (Button) ($917.80)
SB ($910.40)
BB ($481.10)
UTG ($612.30)
MP ($400)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, A
2 folds, Hero bets $8, SB raises to $30, 1 fold, Hero raises to $84, SB raises to $228, Hero raises to $917.80 (All-In), SB calls $682.40 (All-In)

Flop: ($1824.80) 2, 9, 7 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: ($1824.80) Q (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($1824.80) K (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $1824.80 | Rake: $3
Results:
Hero had 8, A (high card, Ace).
SB had A, A (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: SB won $1821.80
