Are you folding to a turn 3-bet?

Re: free showdown play
 

I like it, especially if we can get BB out.

No, but I'd drop a few f-bombs. But seriously, pot would be 12-1 and I don't think a set would lead the flop like that.

I'm not saying it is. It felt right, because, my hand was strong enough to see a SD and I wanted to charge any drawing hands the most I could. It was likely that at least one of my opponents was on a pure draw.

oh i see, so it's more like a value raise

i didn't really understand why the raise just from reading the hand

Did you consider just raising the flop?

Re: free showdown play
 

I was afraid that just raising the flop would look to much like AK or AJ and it'd set me up for a turn donk or a turn check raise.
