Borgata 6-12 snowmen

The button is very aggressive preflop. He'll 3-bet Axo from LP. He's a little less aggressive postflop, but it's been a passive table and he only sat down about an hour ago at most, so I don't have a great read on his postflop play.

It's folded to me in MP and I raise my 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], the CO cold-calls 2 (he's terrible and cold-calls a lot), Button 3-bets, blinds fold, I call, and the CO calls.

The flop comes 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] : <font color="blue">(10.5 SB)</font>
I check, CO checks, Button bets, I raise, CO folds, Button 3-bets, I call.

The turn is a T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] : <font color="blue">(8 BB)</font>
I check, Button bets, I call.

River is a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] : <font color="blue">(10 BB)</font>
I think and reach to bet... the dealer thought I checked and the Button bets out. I think about arguing, but decided to raise, Button 3-bets, I fold.


I could bet out on the flop and expect a raise from the Button and maybe trap the CO, but I wanted him to lay down his overcard(s). I wanted to bet the river because I didn't want it checked through. If I did bet out and he raised, should I have called or folded? I think it's a much easier fold after I was 3-bet.

How should I have played it differently?
