Dabbling in 3-6

[nbb]

I've been testing the waters in 3-6 Party Poker and have found them to be not a lot different then 2-4. Although I have seen big pocket pairs limp in (QQ to AA) a lot more often up here (and not just in the blinds or utg either!)

Here's a hand for consideration. What do my opponents have and where did I screw up (besides the river?) Main opponents have had their names modified to show what my notes say of them. ItalkAGoodGame thinks he knows what he is doing, but doesn't.

3bet preflop, especially against an any 2 player that might be raising A6 or KT

i think you should lead at this flop hoping that any2 will raise and knock out Italk, by making someone face two bets you might get someone with Jc/Tc to fold saving yourself the pot if another club falls...

the rest of the hand i think is fine, including the river...

I'd 3-bet this preflop and bet into the flop. A raise scares me, but probably does not induce a fold against the remaining players.

You coldcall preflop is pretty bad. Other than that, the hand looks fine.
