Given the good things me34343434343343433433434343 (or whoever) added, I am in the 3bet the flop camp. For some reason I didn't want to lose SB at the time, but I guess it doesn't really matter either way since I have a ton of equity.

He had QJo with a heart and MHIG. The whole hand felt weird though and I felt like the river call was marginal since the OESD came through.

I would cold call the flop and once I paired up on the turn, I'm raising for a free showdown.

i don't like this at all. the board has 4 to straight on it, and it's not unlikely that villain was raising the oesd on the flop. like no better hands are folding to the raise but you will be 3-bet some of the time - which sucks. also, i'd rather get to raise him on the river if i hit my draw and collect bets then... rather than charge myself more to draw.

That's a good point; I didn't see that on the board.

I think you have a clear 3 bet. In King Yao's book, he has a very interesting discussion of the free card play. Basically, its + EV vs calling if you get bet into less than 60% of the time on the turn. A flop 3 bet is a very powerful move and I think you will your opponents will donk bet the turn far less than 60%. On top of that, calling 2 cold screams flush draw. 3 betting this flop also adds deception to your play if you hit your flush on the turn.

Another point to take into account is the fact that SB 3 bet pf and could very well have an A in his hand w/a higher kicker. By 3 betting the flop, you will force him to fold and buying yourself 2 extra outs. By cold calling, your give him such great odds to call 1 more bet that he comes along for the ride more often then not (I know that in this case he folded but thats not the point).

Thanks for that. I'm in the 3-betting camp too.
