yes i know i should raise preflop so shutup about that (this would not change the flop action i promise with these players). i got very frustrated here, especially once i saw the turn. MP and CO both had nothing on the flop. i didn't know how else to react when 3-bet though.

my flop raise was to try to knockout CO who has a history of bluffing into flops. however MP really screwed me up.
