do we care what the middle guy does? I think if i were to 3bet the flop i would want him to call. if he's going high then hes basically dead, and if hes going low then we want him in to add to our half of the pot. it looks we genereally want him in then.

so basically we generally want to keep the middle guy in. if we were to 3bet the flop, then i think its a judgment call of whehter or not he would fold. you are probably the best judge of that since i guess youd have some kind of read on him.

but you should bet the turn to sort of trap the middle guy. CRing the turn puts him in a tough spot and is likely to get rid of him. checkcalling just gets one bet from him if he decides to call, but you can achieve that by just betting in the first place.

ps if you do some twodimes it looks like if the third guy has a low draw on the flop, then there are more "low" outs against you so maybe its not so bad if you get rid of him, in which case a flop 3bet looks good.
