5/10 Party 8 handed. The meal ticket just left the table, and now it's full of TAG.

folded to Button (TAG, that will raise this spot very thin)who open raises.
Hero 3 bets.
BB (21/12/2) calls! Button calls.

Flop (9sb) comes:

I would lead the flop if I 3-bet preflop.

What worse hand 3-bets you on this turn? None. You are drawing dead or to 3 outs at best. Fold.

Heads-up, against a TAG in a blinds defense situation? I think the list is actually decently long.

I'm unhappily calling down. In addition to the fact that your hand MIGHT be good, if you fold this, you make it a lot harder to c/r bluff or semi-bluff in the future.

I think you did it all right except on the flop. Lead the flop, or check-raise.

after 3-betting pf, i would just bet out and call a raise on the flop.

getting 3 bet off of a cr on this turn after 3-betting pf usually means you are beat (or he paired his draw on the turn). with better reads, i probably fold this on the river (the Jc is a bad card for you)...without, i call down like a fish and get a better read.

I would certainly lead the flop. When raised I'd c/r that turn, when called on the flop lead the turn again. With much resistance on both flop and turn I'd c/c down.
