Medium pocket pair vs. overcards

[jpb324]

First post, be gentle...

I seem to be having a hard time with medium PP. I may have been a bit aggresive with this pre-flop UTG, but what's the line after he 3-bets and all the overcards come on the flop? This guy just sat down for a few hands - no real read, but doesn't seem to be a maniac.

check/fold IMO. you're behind most 3-betting preflop raisers. once it is HU, he'll call down with either A or K.

It seems like you are way behind to anything he could reasonably 3-bet you with. The only thing you might be able to do is push him off a lower pocket QQ-xx.
