second orbit so reads are nil, but it was a very high pot average table...

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 raises, Hero 3-bets, 5 folds, BB calls, UTG+2 calls.

Flop: (9.33 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+2 raises, Hero calls, BB calls.

Turn: (7.66 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+2 bets, Hero calls, BB calls.

Hit me. Should have raised this for value and protection, yes?

I'll often 3-bet the flop as UTG+2 will often CR this flop with a worse hand. Call down if cap.

3bet the flop or raise the turn, you left money on the table here...

I'm more apt to jam the flop again, and get another raise the turn as well rather than slow down immediately to a little aggression.

Get in there and fight for your pots.

I like raising the turn here. This action usually betrays Villain's hand, more or less - AQ/KQ. BB may be truly awful, but more likely he has some outs w/ JT, etc., and can be raised out on the turn at a small price, assuming UTG+2 will always call down from here.

If you 3-bet the flop, you take the lead and probably keep BB also. I like this line more when the board is less drawy and the potential of being behind is greater.

i 3-bet flop and lead turn. villian has a queen!!!! and you might get BB to fold. if he caps, id want to get to showdown fo cheap. The way you played the flop, I would def raise the turn. you had the right idea man, now press the button

Raise the flop. And raise the turn if you get the chance. No reason not to with the best hand. Realistically you're only behind TT & QQ on the flop, in terms of the range of hands he's going to raise PF with and not cap your 3-bet.

I will always raise the flop. Most of the time, the rest of the hand plays differently then.
