Default Re: Can you ditch the ladies here?

I think you messed this one up pretty good. On the flop you should bet to get rid of aces, kings, and a variety of other hands you'd like to fold. You can't be sure a checkraise would work since you can't be sure where the bet will come from. As it played out all you did was trap players you wanted to get rid of.

As for the turn, I think you're 3-bet was pretty bad. I highly doubt that SB is checkraising anything here but a straight. Folding is probably the correct play although you could make a thin case for calling.

Edit: Now I see SB is all-in after the turn so the 3-bet isn't so bad, but betting the flop is a must. I like the river check since it'll give you a chance to fold if it's two back to you, but since it was only one bet I'd kick in the call too but expect to lose a majority of the time.
