Re: how often do you find yourself getting into pissing contests like this
Obviously not often. Your preflop play is horrendous unless you have reason to believe MP2 is an idiot. 8 handed is not nearly short enought to start pretending you are playing 5 handed. Q10s is not a hand you want to put 3 bets in preflop. I am sure you know this. Many would say the following to my preflop comment "but of course I play well postflop". OK but if you need to fling this many bets into the pot to force someone to fold a better hand (maybe a worse hand) then the fight will not be a profitable one over the long haul. of course, the gap between the hands you can call or 3-bet with here has shrunk given the looseness of the raiser, but I would pick a better spot.
