How weak was I playing? Button is tight and somewhat aggressive (17% VP$IP, 6.7 pre-flop raise %). CO is unknown.
After the 3-bet pre-flop, I feared Button had AK. I didn't like the CO in between us, but I wasn't too worred about his holding. I intended to simply call down and find out. On the turn, Button's raise confirmed my fear of AK and I folded. In retrospect, I wish I would have taken control of the hand on the flop by a check-raise, hoping to fold the CO and get it heads up. This would have also prevented the Button from taking control of the hand and ultimately muscling me out of the pot.
