Call Down Mode with TPTK

You didn't mention what limits this was but I will assume it was 3-6 or less. I think that 3 betting the flop might have been a little too aggressive although his cap should have been an indicator that he had an overpair and you were probably drawing very thin and should have folded. I think I would have only called his flop raise and then gone into check - call mode. Of course this is also dependent on what kind of read you have on your opponent.

I disagree with this advice. At the point he has raised you on the flop you can do 3 things. Fold, raise, or go to your check call. Re-Raising on the flop is cheaper than calling. Do you understand why?

Re-raising cost 1 extra SB while calling to the river costs 2BB. If he caps your re-raise on the flop and isn't a maniac fold.

Why pay 2 BBs when 1 SB gives you the same information?
