Default Re: Thoughts about a TT line...

I agree that the flop bet into your pf 3-bet is at least a jack, and usually an ace, so I'd just fold it there.

But this is what grabbed my attention:

free card.. thank you much

You really don't want a free card in this situation. A free card is good when you have a drawing hand that is likely behind and you want to improve for cheap. Here, essentially the only reason you're still playing is because you think you may be ahead, since your pocket pair has so few outs to improve. If you raise the flop because you expect Villain to have UI overs, you need to bet the turn here to charge him to draw and not the reverse. You can always take a free showdown if you bet here as well, meaning you put the same number of BBs in on turn/river, but you don't give him a free chance to improve.
