Often it is -EV to be chasing any draws at all, but if you are heads-up, in position, and have the lead, then in some cases it could be +EV to c-bet on the flop and perhaps fire a second barrel on the turn against a passive opponent while having decent fold equity.
Assuming that you agree with this, let's consider the following situation where you are heads-up, in position, and have the lead.
You have:
and you are on the BTN. The CO open-raises to 3BB. You 3-bet and the CO calls.
Then the flop comes:
Do you c-bet on the flop? Probably, right? Suppose you bet around 1/2 the pot. The CO calls.
Then the turn comes:
Do you fire a second barrel? If not, do you check-fold or check-call?
And now suppose that the turn was this instead:
Do you change your strategy?
