Default Ks paired board.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (7 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 caps</font>, Hero calls.

Assuming a typical opponent, what should be my plan here on out? Has he shown enough aggression to the point where I should check/fold? Should I be check/calling here on out or maybe a stop n go, folding to a raise. I was pretty confused on this hand.

I hate folding in spots like this. Many players, if they had a 7, would slowplay.

Either way, I think your flop 3-bet is bad, especially once it's heads up.

If there's a chance he's making a play for a free card I don't mind a stop and go, but if you take that line and he raises again I think you need to be prepared to lay it down.

Otherwise, I don't mind just checking and calling.

Against a typical opponent (loose passive), I would expect them to raise the turn with a 7, not the flop. In any case, call down because it's possible MP3 has a big PP that's worse than yours.

You don't like the 3-bet because it spews against hands that beat me and scares hands that don't?

Pretty much, yeah.

If you knew this guy was aggressive and would either make this play with a hand like 88 or a club draw, I don't mind shoving it down his throat with a flop 3-bet/lead the turn line.

However, since we don't know that for sure I think treading lightly is better.

Also, since you did 3-bet the flop we need to take the information you got from it, (his subsequent cap), into consideration.

I think if you're planning to see a showdown, the 3-bet is bad.
