Re: Correct flop aggression? (short)
You're taking your hand to the river, obviously, and you will catch TPTK or a flush by then about 54 percent of the time.
However, you're not a favorite over a hand like KJ (you're not a big underdog either), and you aren't even that big of a favorite over a hand like 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. And versus two pair or a set, of course, you're an underdog.
I guess 3-betting might give you some fold equity versus a hand like 77. I'm more inclined to raise or 3-bet heads-up with a big draw when in position, but I'll do it sometimes out of position as well. (I don't like it so much in this spot though, since the chances are very good Button has top pair, and I don't think he's releasing that.)
As far as the raise being for value goes, I think it's probably about neutral.
