Preflop: Hero is Button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, CO calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, MP calls, CO calls.

Flop: (6.40 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
MP bets, CO raises, Hero 3-bets???

Didn't feel really good about this hand. My thinking on the flop was I didn't raise 88 just to have a good flop and then fold. So I 3-bet. CO paddled my ass the hand before with K9 by going full on the river over my 8c7c flush. The 9c came on the river.

I'll put the rest of the hand up after some replies.

I´ll fold this 100% of the time...
A severe case of reverse implied odds...

I think you should fold on the flop with this action. If you are behind you are drawing to possibly one out. If you are ahead you likely have to dodge half the deck twice to win the hand. Unless either of these players are crazy LAGs you should dump it and not think twice about it.

I completely agree. I'm not sure how Villian taking it to me on the previous hand should influence my decision to stick around or not. MP folded, CO called. CO led the turn and I called. River went check, check and he showed a busted K-high flush draw. I like to think MP folded a 9 here but I still think folding the flop is a really good idea here.
