First question is: who folds here? IS this an easy steal attempt, or does it depend on how loose the blinds are?

When I bet the flop, and he raiases Im not putting him on a ten becuase everybody and their mother slowplays this at 1/2. So Im worried about higher pairs, and that it gets trickier to play this hand when overcards start hitting, especially an ace or king.

Does anyone 3 bet the flop or raise the turn or river? Anybody even thinknig about folding here?

i would usually 3-bet the flop. your line works also if he will keep betting with a worse hand. and no i dont even consider fodling.

i would probably 3bet the flop against most opponents, but as you played it i think something like Adxd will keep betting at you. i do not think about folding, especially with those turn/river cards.

you played it fine.

I think you played it ok, but I probably raise the turn.

I was originally going to say 3-bet this flop because we're especially vulnerable with such a low PP, but I changed my mind and would rather throw in a turn raise. It's an easy fold if they 3-bet and it allows you to check through a scary river card such as an A. Lastly, if he's on a bluff then you get an extra .5BB by raising the turn and then get him to fold a likely 6 outer. Looks like a big +EV situation to wait til the turn.
