Default Re: 44 do you call this check-raise and 3 bet?

I didnt like the flop call. I would have to throw in a raise to thin the field. Given that theres a descent chance that CO is betting at it without much of a hand you may in fact be ahead....even if you aren't ahead at this point, you may get another 4 to fold..say A4 or some other hand with a 4 in it, cleaning up your straight outs, or even getting someone with a 3 to fold cleaning up your set outs should you hit, or both! a simple check raise here could buy you easily as much as 4 outs, which, in this case isnt bad given that you may in fact be ahead anyways. As a side not, by check raising this flop, you better define your hand against the bb, if you see him call two cold you can be pretty sure your behind, if he 3 bets cold you can be positive all the while creating an easier call on your part. This is one of those situations in my opinion where its either fold or raise, but definitely no call. Good luck.
