Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, Hero raises, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB 3-bets, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

Comments: I know the preflop raise was out of line. It was a mistake thinking I was first in in a tight game where I had been playing very tight. But also keep in mind that UTG+1 was playing very loose at V$IP over 50% and PFR at 1%.

Flop: (13 SB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

Comments: You see I slow play my Top 2 Pair here planning to Rereraise on the Turn.

Turn: (8.50 BB) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB bets, UTG+1 raises

So here I am. Do I call 2 big bets or do I fold?

With the bet and raise here I am thinking I must be against AK straight with my outs being a J or T to make a full house, or could be against QQ, JJ, or TT and leaving me no outs since a J or T would only give me a FH against a higher FH or 4oak. I suppose its also possible that I have the best hand and am against AA, KK, AQ or an open ended straight or flush draw. But I don't think UTG+1 is one who would raise in that position with a drawing hand.

Please share your thoughts. I'll fill in the finish of the hand in a few days.

Fold preflop. Having raised preflop, raise the flop. Having not raised the flop (this was pretty bad, BTW), you have to 3-bet the turn and pray. You underrepresented your hand on the flop, so putting in uncomfortable extra bets on the turn is mandatory.

This is a tough call - if it was heads up I would surely call this but three-way there are two many hands where you are screwed.

If you call two bets cold and then SB three-bets then what? what if MP then caps?

I would muck and not slowplay next time -

what were the results?

Well, SB did three-bets and then MP did cap.

I folded. And of course, I the made my full house.

Both SB and MP had AK for the straight and split the pot. SB checked, MP bet, and SP called on the river.

I'm shocked that two players slow-played AK preflop.

I think it's a tough call. That queen just could have made so many hands that beat you. Against two players, I think your fold is a reasonable play.

Thanks for the comments.

To correct the conclusion:

Hero folded and so did MP3. SB did three-bet and then UTG+1 did cap.

And of course, I the made my full house on the river.
SB checked, UTG+1 bet, and SB called.

Both SB and UTG+1 had AK for the straight and split the pot.
