Default Re: Is getting away from AA on the flop here too tight?

It really depends on the read. I like trusting reads if you've proven they are solid.

Here is one I dropped on the flop. All 3 players were unknowns (I only had 10 hands with button an he appeared passive, the other two were on their first orbit).

I couldn't see being ahead and I don't like drawing to a 2 outer that completes a straight draw (albeit unlikely) even though I have a BDFD. I'm not as worried about MP2 (although frankly I'm convinced I have him beta) as I am MP3 or button. What hand would MP3 3 bet PF and then 3 bet on the flop. He can't have the nut flush draw (I have the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) which leads me to either KK or QQ both of which I'm drawing really thin. What do you put button on that he called 3 cold PF and on the flop? If it isn't capped I'm getting 30:2 on my call. If this is capped, I'll be getting 33:3 on my call. Maybe I'm biased by how bad I've been running with AA (winning at a 30-40% rate the last week or so) but it seems like an easy fold.

Thoughts?
