This hand occurred when I was getting very frustrated, as I kept raising with good starters, getting called pf and on the flop, and then c/r on the turn, forcing me to fold when I kept missing.
So on the turn, I 3-bet out of frustration, not recognizing that I might extract more if I just called the c/r. But then I wondered whether, even if I lost 1 bet on that hand by 3-betting, might it have been worthwhile in the long run to stop people from c/raising me on the turn?
Or was the 3-bet good in its own right?
