there was a bunch of good tables this weekend
 

UTG is really loose passive. MP2 is your average 15 LAG. MP3 is maniacal.

preflop (the blinds were both 30+ vpip)

You definitly need to 3 bet this flop, but i still think you might be good here. MP2 seems like he might have a QK type hand, so i would 3 bet the turn and try to get heads up with the maniac, assuming you feel he raises this turn with hands worse than yours.

3-bet and see what happens. And I agree that you absolutely must 3-bet this flop and hope maniac caps and bets into you on the turn, as they often like to do.

Fold the turn, don't be stubborn. The goodness of the tables means that you don't need to push small edges, especially when folding is so much cheaper than sticking around.

This isn't a tournament, there's no real need to pass up a small edge to wait for a larger one a hand later.

Re: there was a bunch of good tables this weekend
 

Yeah, I guess by 'small edge' here I mean 'hunch.'

Re: there was a bunch of good tables this weekend
 

ive been waiting for the turn a little too much lately, i think. Got a mild case of FPS i need to get rid of.

Thanks for the help

Your hand is screaming to be 3bet on the flop louder than a 9 month old baby that just had its mother replaced with a marmot.
