I actually saw something like this in bluff magazine not too long ago. I don't know if the hand is the same but its really similar. In this case were lucky and the other player actually had a weak ace. In most cases we should get them to call us down with middle or low pair.
The whole point of taking a line like this is to make an opponent think you are bluffing or trying to steal. If you look at the hand with let's say the Hero holding KQ, it looks exactly how many beginner players may go about making a bluff in position when they don't hit.
If they did have KQ, the 1500 bet on the flop could easily be a positional C-bet.
The check on the turn could show weakness.
And the river bet is the last resort, please don't call steal. You see now how it looks like a common bluff used by many or even you at one point?
Now again we see the opponent had a weak ace, but many times with this line you can have many hands weaker than A 10 call you down....try it some time
