Default Anyone like this flop 3-bet?

So I was rereading TOP again the other day, in particular the chapter on defending semibluff. At my local B&M, I've been seeing the late position flush draw raise all the time. So when I saw a raise here, along with the opportunity to knock several people out with my vulnerable hand, I took it. Good play or did I turn into a LAG?

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, Hero checks,

Flop: (5.33 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG bets, MP3 calls, CO raises, Button folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG folds, MP3 folds, CO calls.

Hero bets, CO calls.

River: (8.66 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: 10.66 BB

I wonder if a river check is better, as better hand doesn't fold but a missed draw may bluff (although the flop 3-bet makes unducing a river bluff somewhat unlikely). Does K9 or worse raise the flop and then call all the way down?

I like the way you followed thru with your flop plan.

I would consider raising this hand preflop.

I like the 3-bet in this situation if you have a good read. My only reservation is that this board has high enough cards that you could be running into 2-pair or set very easily. Had you met more resistance, a fold would be in order.

Good call on the check behind, opponent showed Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for the flopped nuts. I guess he was either planning on raising the turn but the second T scared him, or he was content to let me bet for him.

Fold!

Small multi-pot, draw heavy board, aggression shown, mediocre hand unlikely to improve, action remaining behind you...

You do realize that Hero has TPGK and a gutshot, right? There's no way I'm folding this on the flop. I would prefer to bet out on the flop since there is a good chance that you have the best hand currently you really don't want to be giving any free cards here.

Sorry, didn't see the gutshot. That does tip it towards playing out your hand. Without a pre-flop raise, I still fold.
