no read on villain as i've only been at the table for like 15 minutes. i haven't seen him do anything out of line, he just seems a bit loose pre-flop.

6-max(6-players).50 BB
hero-UTG(49.30)
villain-CO(69)

dealt to hero A /images/graemlins/spade.gif10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
hero opens for 1.75, CO calls, everyone else folds.

flop(3.75)-K /images/graemlins/spade.gif6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
hero leads for 3.25, villain min-raises to 6.5 , Hero calls?.

ok so i don't know where to go here. i think 3-betting is best here, because i can't call a big bet if the flush doesn't come on the turn. play along with me.

I would definitely 3-bet here to about 20 or so.

The reason behind my move is just to send a message to everyone not to play back at my continuation bets since I do them frequently. Any chance I get to play back at a raiser I take.

If it's a passive table, I'm limping ATs UTG.

I'm betting less on the flop, calling the raise.

3 betting here sucks. I think check raising the turn all in is even better than 3 betting.

[stu-unger]

the only thing that stopped me from a 3 bet was that if he calls and the turn is a brick i pretty much have to push or check/fold depending on pot odds. i called and the turn was an ace and i c/r'ed him all-in and i took the pot down uncontested.

I agree with this - you can't three bet because it leaves you pot-comitted on the turn, with too little in your stack to have any fold equity on your push.

Just take your decent odds and call to see the turn.
