If BB is very good, he realizes you are CBing this flop with any hand you raised preflop, and so check-raises you with absolutely nothing. But I really doubt my opponents are that good.

It would seem to me that your raise of only 3xBB in this situation is a little suspect.

Imagine his comment if you would have bet up to 1/2 his stack. If he calls that bet, then he is truly an idiot.

Your call with only 33 is really out on a limb as you will blind out the next hand if you lose. Looks good here because of the result but I don't like the call at all.

Rambling now. Just push him out pre-flop if you HAVE to play this hand for some reason. Otherwise, fold and let the SB do your dirty work for this hand.

Just a noob, so you get what you paid for... Good luck!
