3-bet this turn

I was 90% sure what villian had on the turn(TT). Should I have 3-bet and made him fold(which he would have when I'm correct). He is gonna call my C/R on the river when he doesn't hit but thinks he is ahead(I'm leading a A/K/Q river).

My river call sucks here given all I knew. I really only called to prove to myself my reads were correct.

Table was tight with two bad players. This is not a standard PF raise for me UTG.

Why are you so sure he has TT? AJ, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 99, 88, 77, A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] as well as others and a complete bluff are all possible. If you are right he's not folding TT with a gutshot getting 9 to 1.

You played it well.

1. There's no way you can be that positive of TT. As the above poster listed there are a ton of other possible hands.

2. Calling when you should be folding just to make sure, is a huge leak.

3. Raising QJs UTG is a terrible play. This is a great multiway hand. By raising you creat a short handed/HU pot with a hand that is surely better than yours and likely has you dominated.
