Default Re: Top two pair on the flop: 3 bet before it gets to me

This seems like the day for heavy-action hands.

Well, jeez, what can everyone have that it's three bets to you when you have top two? I'm thinking there may not be many cards left that will give you a boat.

Would a turn raise be for value? I don't know. You did just pick up a lot of additional potential outs, and I suppose your hand might be best. I'm really kind of worried UTG+2 has 55, though, unless he's going nuts with AA/QQ now after not raising preflop (I do see that from time to time). Your flop cap didn't seem to bother him.

Anyway, if you're best and SB has a hand like AJ/AT and will dump it (despite having picked up a gutshot to go with his pair), that would be a good thing, but that's a lot of ifs, too.

I think I like just calling at this point.

Then I'd raise the river if I made my flush or a boat.
