3/6 6 Max: Blind Defense Hand
 

This is probably a pretty boring and standard hand for most of you, but I am trying to get better in defense situations so hopefully you will humor me.

Hero is in the BB with T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

CO open raises and it is folded to me. I call.

The CO is 22/11/1.7 after about 2,000 hands. His attempt to steal blinds in 19.5%.

The flop comes T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, Villan bets, I raise...

Standard so far? If he 3 bets do I plan on check calling down? Assuming he calls and then raises when I lead the turn do I consider folding there if it is a scary card?

I get confused when it is a steal opportunity and the villan starts to play back at me.

Depends on villian. But you should at least see the turn card before deciding if you should continue.

If he does this you're almost certainly boned.

I'd say call the 3-bet and bet-fold the turn. It seems a lot of the time a K would smooth call the flop and raise the turn, so his flop 3-bet makes me suspicious.

That doesnt make sense imo. If you believe he doesnt have the K you should just call down and maybe raise the river. Why make him fold a worse hand which he would bluff at you. If I were to do anything different and I dont put him on a K I would cap flop and bet fold turn and river.
