TT family/big pot

Do you 3-bet this pre-flop?
Do you just bet out on the flop? I was thinking that I probably would have been able to 3-bet had I just bet out on the flop.

Table is 37/5. These Caribbean tables are often very loose passive.

You're in a bad spot to do it but yeah I'd 3-bet preflop. Rest looks good. Nice table. I like how MP1 raised the turn and folded the river on that board.

i do. you want a HUGE pot to call for your set or straight or whatever flop comes.
