I folded.

I certainly thought there was some validity to 3-betting preflop, especially with an in-between caller. However, I wanted to use my position, see the flop, and didn't want to take the lead. The preflop raiser would invariably lead, and I could get away from such flops as AQx or KQx pretty easily as well as get information from the in between caller.

The flop came safe cards, and I felt it necessary to raise the turn once the 3rd heart appeared. I threaten the made flush, but once UTG popped it again, I knew I was toast. My overpair no flush draw was no good. He's not going over me without something like TT, a made flush or at the very least A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Ax.

Thanks for your thoughts.
