Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed)

pretty average table, nothing crazy happening, mp2 just sat down so no read

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP1 posts a blind of $1. MP2 posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 (poster) checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 (poster) raises</font>, Hero calls, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, BB calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (9.25 BB) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, MP2 calls.

River: (12.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

you should 3-bet the poster's raise preflop.

given that you didn't, i would raise this flop because its no guarantee that bb will bet into you again on the turn given that he wasn't the preflop aggressor. he may simply be betting a draw or a middle pair that he won't have the courage to bet again on the turn.

but rest of the hand plays itself.

without any read on mp2 calling the river c/r sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

I play the hand exactly like you did. Chris, what is your reasoning for 3 betting preflop?

He posted in MP1 : 0 That's enough for me to three bet and grin.

posting when you sit down is generally only a smart move from the Big Blind, or the Cutoff. since he posted from MP1, the conclusion is that he isn't very smart. thus, he raises with worse hands than an educated player. thus, we can three bet his candy a$$. it was a joke (I think), but not entirely inaccurate
