Whats your question mike, it looks fine to me.

[Schneids]

Three-bet PF? Is there any chance in God that I win this hand without hitting a pair or flush? Would I show more profit by check/calling the river?

[lil']

I generally 3 bet preflop.

[Requeim]

I'd 3 bet with this hand preflop just about all the time.

[Ulysses]

Sometimes I like to 3-bet in that spot pre-flop.

Could you guys explain to me why you would 3-bet this preflop? I'm thinking about playing shorthanded as well and this is different than I would think. Or do you guys 3-bet this hand in a full ring game as well? Do you guys always call this hand also in a full ring game?

Thanks,

Guido
