I'm particularly concerned about my flop play. And the possible holdings of MP when he 3-bets the preflop. Comments? Thanks

Looks fine to me. I'm guessing you chopped it.

pick up pokertracker for better reads.

i tend to cap this, but out of position against tight players, meh. a 3-bet varies way too much person to person.. but say QQ+,AK, (50% of the time w/ JJ/AQs) for starters.. plus some random unpredictable junk on occasion.

once you flop the K, you are looking pretty good. the check-raise is fine if he'll autobet most of his holdings. you'd hate to give a free card to something like J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J.

Even if the villain is tight, 3 betting AA-JJ(maybe TT), as well as AKs and AK would make sense to me.

play looks fine, its how i'd play it but i'd be curious if any of the other posters here smooth call the flop and check raise the turn (i don't think i check raise enough -1.26%). Outside of the two clubs on board, you don't appear to vulnerable.

BTW, the button doesn't seem too tight!
