Hi,
I felt this was a marginal hand in marginal position.
The Big Blind is kinda tight, other then that the key players in the hand are relative unknowns to me.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">
4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">
2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">
1 fold</font>, MP2 calls.
My thinking was to call and let MP2 define his hand so I can figure out how to play my hand. I was thinking of folding it and took around 5 seconds to decide to call.
MP2 calls do I put him on two big cards, middle pair, or just a blind steal.
Flop: (10 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.
I check-raise the flop to clear out MP2. I was hoping I'd not get 3 bet. I hope I'm not drawing dead. :\

w00t! I just picked up some spliting outs if I'm burried. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Was this a good place for a check-raise? My feeling was Button isn't folding any hand after he 3 bets two streets and I'd hate to get 3 bet again!

Whats my line here? Check/call and hope? fold to bet? I can't imagine any hand that bets the river here I beat. I know a read would be helpfull, but man, he'd have to be a real LAG to have a hand I beat here. The only guidence I can give you is he 3 bet out of his Big blind with 66 vs a MP open raiser, granted MP was a pretty loose open raiser and it was folded to him. I still think it shows he's overly agressive, but I still dont know if I should check/call.
Thanks,
