One of my big leaks is holding on to pocket pairs until the end, even with overcards on the board. Is this a good way to plug the leak, or do I still have more work to do?
I just sat down at the table this orbit, but it seems on the tight-ish side and mostly passive.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.
Flop: (7.50 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">CO caps</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls.
I 3-bet to defend against the semi-bluff/free card play. My plan all along when I 3-bet was to A) call a cap and check/fold the turn unimproved or B) if not capped lead the turn and fold to a raise (if a brick hit). Is that a good course of action, or still too loose/fishy?
Turn: (9.75 BB) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero folds, MP1 calls $1 (All-In).
River: (11.75 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in) </font>
Final Pot: 11.75 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 11.75 BB, between MP1 and CO.</font> > <font color="white">Pot won by MP1 (11.75 BB).</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
MP1 shows 8h 7c (straight, jack high).
CO shows As 9c (two pair, aces and nines).
Outcome: MP1 wins 11.75 BB. </font>
Thanks,
