I seem to run into the following type of decision a fair amount -- I can't find a specific hand right now, but what's standard here? Assume CO isn't great, but not a total fish -- a little loose with cold-calling raises pf, but wouldn't call with total garbage. Overplays hands a little, stays in a little too long, but isn't a maniac, and can find a fold when smoked.
Hero is MP3 w/ A/images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gif
Two loose limpers from EP, Hero raises, CO Cold-calls, Blinds fold, Limpers call.
Flop (9.5 SB): A/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/spade.gifT/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Limpers check, Hero bets, CO Raises, Limpers Fold, Hero ???
At this point, villian probably doesn't have a set -- he's good enough to 3bet pre-flop w/ TT, QQ, or AA.
He might have KJ, but he could just as easily have a worse two pair, Ax of spades, KQ, even JT without a flush draw etc...
Which is usually more EV in this situation? 3bet the flop and lead the turn (call if capped and re-evaluate on the turn) or just call the raise and try for a check-raise on the turn if a safe card falls?
