The flop 3-bet is mandatory. Well-played.

However, betting the turn here is pretty much throwing away money.

Thanks; you too.

I decided to 3-bet the flop against this particular lineup as they had already put in money and were very loose players. Had the button not called the CO's raises, I probably would have just called. I think the flop is a close decision either way.

As for the turn, I would have check/called had the 9 stayed in the deck; however, the fact that I picked up 4 more outs changed my plan, and made me doubt the best play. I figured the pot was so large already that opponents would be calling with anything. I still think the turn is the most questionable street.
