“keep voting for him for the first three ballots.”

The trend in second and subsequent ballots will be in Cruz's favor.

If FL is static for 3, and perhaps a few other states are static for 2 (or more), all that does is delay things a bit. Thus, if Trump does not get 1237 on Ballot#1, neither Cruz nor Trump may get it on #2, #3, #4... until #n, and with the aforementioned trend, Cruz gets the nom.

That is assuming Rule40b is essentially kept (8 states, or 5 states in the 2012 version).

Still, for this voter, November vote goes to Trump if he gets 1236+, or Cruz, if he gets 1236+.
