I'd just call down. You only have 7 cards at most to fear and you have 15 outs to redraw out on him should he hit. So after getting 3 bet on the flop, I'd call down.

He might go away if you cap and lead the turn but, on the other hand, you might not want him to.

I like flop cap against his range. I wouldn't bet turn though. Most retard lags aren't crazy enough to raise you again with a worse hand (especially after the Q paired a lot of the worse hands that could have went crazy on the flop). If you're planning on calling down (as opposed to calling a turn raise and folding the river), checking the turn becomes even better. And I wouldn't be willing to fold to this guy.

Hey Baron,

I'm all for unbridled aggression, especially 3handed - but what were you trying to accomplish? I don't see him folding a better hand like..ever. There's something to be said for putting the last bet in when you figure him to be on a draw too, but here you A) have a bluff-catcher and B) have no reason to think he's on a draw also.

To me this just looks like spewing.

i mean, it can't be HORRIBLE, since im +EV against paired Aces etc on the flop (pair + fd)...and on the turn, im paying 1 bet against most better hands anyways, and worse hands are checking behind (although better haands that spike 2 pr (AQ, AJ, QJ) might raise the turn)

but not on the turn

but im getting raised only by AQ-AJ-QJ and im paying 1 bet against better hands anyhow, and im charging worse hands (TT-77 etc).

FWIW, the reason im posting this hand is because i showed this to another poster and even tho it was standard to me he said he liked just calling the flop 3bet and c/c the turn.

True. But your edge isn't really worth exploiting for EV reasons (you have like 1%?) and getting raised on the turn ruins whatever equity edge you gained on the flop.

What range do you have for him after he bet-3bets the flop? Does capping/leading offer any advantages against that range? This is a serious question, i'm interested on what you expect him to hold given the action.

That's my standard too. however, this can be really good for metagame purposes if you are going to play with this guy alot - you can fastplay most 2tone boards in hte future and he'll likely give you too much action. If this is the type of image you are fostering then this is a neutral-ev but +variance way to do so.

Also, are you c/fing the river UI?
