No reads. Raise to isolate possible overcards? This is pretty standard for me so if I'm out of line here, please tell me...

Personally I would raise and if reraised I would slow down...btu on the other hand I am not a proven winner...nice to see Swedes!

I like this line a lot. Villian is likely to be raising overcards. I like the CR here and leading the turn, hoping a scarey card does not show.

Super standard.

my guess is 72o, easy fold.

just kidding, raising is correct to protect your hand.

I shouldn't be posting these hands, but when everything goes wrong I just had to get encouraged.

There are no possible way to fold this anywhere, right?

Fold to the 3 bet, you only realistically have 2 outs, in which case you need a pot more than twice as large to have the odds to call.

...but so did you. 4 extra SB would make me call

Hero has about 3.25 outs, given his BD straight, so calling the 3-bet (and goddamned cap) is correct.
