Live 3/6 - How bad is this flop 3-bet?

[casinogosain]

Live 3/6 at Trump, IN. Very loose, very passive game. I'm the only person that has 3-bet anybody at all - and nobody has noticed. If they put one bet in the pot, they'll put in 4. MP in this hand is a friend of mine and is the only one capable of making good folds. He also knows I am the only one capable of folding hands.

Preflop:
UTG limps, UTG+2 limps, MP limps, I raise with JT/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, UTG/UTG+2/MP call.

Flop (14 SBs): 8/images/graemlins/club.gif9/images/graemlins/spade.gif5/images/graemlins/heart.gif
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+2 calls, MP raises, I 3-bet, Button folds, everybody else calls.

Turn (16 BBs): 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+2 checks, MP checks, I check.

River (16 BBs): 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
UTG groans loudly, SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+2 calls, MP calls, I raise, everyone calls.

Final pot: 28 BBs

In retrospect, I don't know if I like the flop 3-bet. I managed to get the button to fold, which is all I was hoping for, but I really had no reason to think he would based on prior hands. After that, the turn check is pretty reasonable I think, as nobody is going to let me win this pot uncontested and my backdoor flush draw failed to materialize. Finally, the river raise is easy. Thoughts?

Perfect. You must 3-bet this board, but not a board like KQ5 rainbow with a single heart.

Do you say this because my overcard outs may be clean?

Your not going to clean up overcard outs with a flop three bet given the table read and size of the pot. That said I like the flop three bet buy the button take the free card and even without the overs you have quite a bit of equity(32%) and also with the table read its not likely to get capped and it will probably get checked to you on the turn.

How do you know what the button has?

3-bet this flop every damn time. You have lots of callers, a draw to the nuts, and no 4-flush is possible. Raise away.

In most games I wouldn't raise JTs preflop, but if it's a table of sheeple like you say, it's OK.

You have the top end of the possible OESDs, which will come in something like 31% of the time, and every flop raise is pulling in money from five people. Hell yes I raise, and I'm delighted if button stays in and/or somebody caps it.

Extra bonus that noone charged you to see the turn even though you were getting the odds for it almost no matter what happened.

It would take 2 suited cards on the flop neither of them matching my hand to make me even think about slowing down here.

I think your maximizing your chances to win by 3 betting this flop. In big pots like this, you need to be esp. agressive. If anyone with a hand like QJ or QT to fold, you have bought yourself outs.
