i dont like leading into the preflop raiser in these situations. checkraise him instead. you know that hes going to bet, so you might as well trap him along with the sb.

Why would you wan´t to trap the SB in this hand? If BT is aggressive and capable of raising with overcards I like this bet. If he likes to only call with overcards then I like CR better...

Leading into the pfr doesn't tell you anything. TSMDB is correct. My standard line is cr flop, call if 3-bet and fold turn unimproved.

you want to trap the small blind because its incorrect for him to call 2bets on this flop with most hands. forcing him to make a mistake with your checkraise is +ev.

Against many opponents you really can't fold on the turn UI. I have seen so many people 3-bet the flop and bet the turn intending to check the river with two overcards (AK or AQ in this hand). But when again, some people will never do that so I guess it depends on your opponent.

My standard line is to check/raise the flop and call down a 3-bet unless I see a scare card.
