well I think I like the turn move, but it was the flop 3bet that got you there and I'm not sure I like that. I think a read on MP1 is more important here.

the bet-3bet on the flop followed by a turn check is too obvious for my taste. any mediocre hand reader knows that's a draw.

as things turned out, i think its good, as MP1 probably doesnt have much. i wouldnt be surprised if it was a flush draw actually

I would be very suprised if he had a flush draw. Why wouldnt he have tried to get as much in as possible on the flop considering how close he was to all-in? Looks alot more like a king that didnt wanna put any action in on the flop because he wanted to keep you both in when all his money went in. I dont think the move is worth it cuz I dont like the parlay of being ahead of MP2 and getting MP1 to fold something you are behind and MP1 probably doesnt have many outs if you are ahead of him.

wouldn't a king cap the flop as well instead of calling on end?
