Welcome to the forums. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Your flop bet was good because apart from having an OESD, there was a chance that your 2 opponents might fold.

3-betting the flop was not a profitable bet against only 2 opponents, because your draw will only come in by the river approx. slightly less than 1 in 3 times.

The rest of the hand was fine.

Were did UTG go?

It says 3 players.

I'd just call the flop MP2's flop raise.

Check/call turn.

Check/call the flop. Your overcard outs are weak. A Ten coming could hurt you via someone with a T Better Kicker or QJ or 76. A seven coming to pair your other card doesn't help you much and puts three to a straight on the board.

That UTG thing is weird, he folded on the flop, apparently I copied it over wrong.

I will try a check/calling next time in that situation!

I lead out on that flop nearly 100% of the time. When you're raised, you have to just call - you do not have enough players in the pot to justify raising for value.
