You played it fine, but am jacking your post but taking your hand. I think a check/call, check/call, bet while calling a raise is also viable. However, I am trying to weigh the two against each other.

In the way you played it, the 3-bettor will call you with a lower PP and raise you with AK and AQ (maybe weaker aces too if a LAG). He may or may not call you down with a PP. The aspect I don't like is that he has the option of popping you on the flop or turn if he has AK, assuming he won't do this with a weaker ace.

On the other side, using the WA/WB line (check/call, check/call, bet) encourages PPs and any aces to bet the flop and turn, and we can make sure the river isn't checked behind. I suppose a problem is that we miss a bet if the flop is checked behind.

Thoughts?

I was thinking about this too, but somebody slightly more passive postflop might be 3betting hands that we are now way ahead of (such as TT, JJ, QQ, KK), might not bet the flop, but be willing to call every street to showdown.

An aggressive player, will raise our flop bet with JJ, QQ, KK, and continue to fire on every street. I like betting the river here to keep hands like these from checking behind.

So, recap, I like the:

Bet/call, check/call, bet/fold line.
