come over the top for another raise. I put him on a draw or a PP like 66,77,88,TT, or JJ or a couple of high cards. He may simply be raising you because he thinks you have 2 unpaired high cards and missed the flop. If he re-re-re-raises I would have to fold. He is unlikely to make this play with a hand that you have beat unless he is a maniac. If he calls and checks the turn (which he is bery likely to do if he calls regardless of the cards he holds) I would check behind him. I'm ok with giving a free card to a possible flush draw in this situation. Be prepared to call a reasonable river bet if the board isn't scary.

Disagree. He's checkraised not only the preflop raiser, but also a cold caller, so less likely to be a tester bet. I think we need to give him credit for at least an over pair here. If he was drawing, he'd take the 3:1 odds here.

I'd lay this down. My guess is that this is a set protecting his hand against the draws.

laydown is fine.

if villain is ultra aggressive, call the raise, lead a blank turn.

Didn't notice it was multi-way. I seem to be missing things like this tonight. It's not a very observant night for me. With the pot being 3 way I would probably fold but there would be a few situations where I would call based on my opponents. However, there is no such info on the opponents here so it looks like a fold.

Lol. Yeah I stopped doing that although I always seemed to win a lot when I did. I would come home from the bar and quadruple up. I'm pretty sure it was just luck though.
