Get to showdown?
 
In a recent PT check I realized I have been getting to showdown 27%, this is a disaster. So my theme starting today is "get to showdown" In light of that, here is a hand that I think I could possibly have made a costly EV mistake.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (10.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP calls, Hero ?

With a pair and a flushdraw ?

I don't think I've seen rory ever say anything other than fold. I think folding the flop here has to be bad.

Over how many hands have you been going to showdown 27% of the time? Are you sure shorthanded is right for you? You might be much happier in full ring games.

I agree with folding the flop. The BB most likely has a bigger pair; with the SB calling your preflop raise his 3-bet is most likely for value and less for isolation. AK is possible, but with so many players its not worth sticking around. MP most likely has a higher flush draw than the Hero.
