ep3 tight but open raises a wide range, raise %12
mp3 is like 45/20 , really bad, postflop he's loose agg and can be a maniac
CO is reasonable but aggressive, and I have folded a pot to him hu recently where we both showed aggression after a steal raise from him

Final Pot:

I seem to have a case of "He could be bluffing I better call syndrome," lately. So I'm trying to make better laydowns, and I almost folded this on the flop. FYI This reraise the flop and lead the turn sequence by the CO is what led me to fold in our last hand hu. And the previous hand was actually a big reason for my calling, but it was just one hand and CO has been playing aggressively but turning over decent hands of the few that I have seen.

I decided to post the results. I know they are in big demand. Villain had As2s and mhig.

It looks ok...were you hoping to c/r the whole field on the flop?

I probably fold preflop, it is very easy for pfr to have a bigger ace and we are going to lose some bets if we both hit.

If I didn't fold preflop for some reason (say I had A9s -- is this even a sure call? I probably do make this call, but I do hate being out of position when A flops like this situation), I like to lead into the raiser to try to protect my hand. It is especially nice if PFR is the sort to still oblige us with a raise if he has KK/QQ/JJ. If PFR is not that sort, we can get a much better idea of where we stand.

I dont care what Villain had. You should be folding this preflop, and leading into the raiser on the flop, and once you checked the flop and it got bet and raised b4 its your turn to act you should be folding. You got lucky here, but you will save more money than you can make by folding on the flop instead of 3 betting it.
