Flop 3-bet?

[DownUnder]

MP1 is a loose 33/10 kind of guy preflop (only off about 60 hands though) and reasonably aggro post. I have only been at the table for half an orbit and raised two of the five hands I've been dealt pre-flop, so my own image might be a bit LAGish.

On reflection I'm not sure about the 3-bet here. I wasn't ready to retreat into my shell and go into call-down mode just yet. AA-QQ would probably have capped pre-flop, I'm behind AQ, KQ and 99, but ahead of AK, TT and anything else he might be making a move with.

Rest of the action to follow...

I would just call the flop check-raise and re-evaluate on the turn. I don't think we're ahead often enough to want to 3-bet, and i'm not excited about it getting capped.

I'd be tempted to call down rather than 3 bet.

Noone considers folding?

[DownUnder]

I wasn't going to fold to an aggro postflop villain for the flop check-raise.

My plan was to call a flop cap and fold UI if bet into on the turn. I'm not saying that's a good plan [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] but it seemed a good idea at the time.

Villain slows down by just calling the flop 3-bet and checking the turn. Maybe he has given up trying to move me off a hand? I bet, thinking I may be ahead here now, but planning to fold if he checkraises me a second time.

MP1 bets...

I don't think we're good 10% of the time (we're only beating KJ/KT/TT, and i think that's a generous estimate of villain's range based on the action and his stats). I lay it down.
