Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Preflop: This is a situation where I know my hands is going to be better heads up. I go for isolation, ends up being 3 way, MP1 is somewhat aggro, BB is an unknown.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

My immediate though is here two pair or a club suited ace. A set most players would pop me on the turn. A bigger ace is a possibility, but from my observation, BB does seem somewhat loose preflop.

Turn: (10.75 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP1 folds, Hero calls.


River: (12.75 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

Trusting my read here, I put in another BB on the river. Is this standard here or am i putting a little too much faith in my hand reading?

Final Pot: 16.75 BB
