I don't understand the flop 3-bet; not that it's wrong, I just don't get it.

I thnk this line is far superior to calling, and folding for one bet on the turn, for a couple of reasons.

My question actually is:

Are you ever going to post a hand that doesn't start with "fun with" again? It's kind of a signature now.

Oh, and I don't get the flop 3-bet either.

I don't mind the flop 3-bet. MP likely has a good draw. EMP who capped preflop likely has TT-KK, maybe even less as he's a 19% pfr. I don't think he plays an ace this way. EP could be peeling with a lot of worse hands. At least that's what I'm assuming your logic was to the 3-bet. I would prefer just to call though.

I think you should bet the river. I would have actually bet the turn and checked the river through after 3-betting the flop.

A big part of why I 3-bet the flop was to set up a turn check. There are only 5 cards that I'm betting on the turn, and none of them are jacks.
