Default Re: Is this dreadful? 44 on Party 3/6

For what it is worth as well you played this very inconsitently throughout. If you are going to 3 bet pre-flop with a small pair then you have to be representing something bigger. Passively calling it down here after 3 betting does not seem to gain you much rather than being able to pick off unimproved high card bluffing. Given the pre-flop cap I think you need to raise the flop and basically say "I don't care what you have I have the best hand". If he still fires back after you have shown such strength then you can fold gracefully before you end up paying the full show-down calling price.

I don't even think I would even 3 bet a 25%+ pre-flop raisor with 44 though, a little too much of a high maintenance hand for my liking. Even a crappy hand like 87 off has decent chances against you and you could be miles behind to a better PP.
