Default ATs. What\'s your turn action?

I was very new to the table and thus had no reliable reads on anyone in this hand.

PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, MP calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, BB calls, MP calls.

Turn: (7.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP folds, Hero .... Easily folds? Calls down?

I like the call down here, even if most of the time you are beat. Simply I want a read against the player &amp; I'm hoping the xtra bet I may put in will easily pay back by getting that read by seeing his cards.

The pot is too big to fold the turn, but blindly calling down is bad too.

I would call the raise, believing you're behind, unless you have something more substantial on BB's tendencies to slowplay TPWK. I only call the river on an ace, ten, or paired board.

What hands do you put him on when the unknown check-3bets two people on the turn?

99 seems the most likely, A8 or A9 are both possible as well.

well, i used to always think to say f-it and just call down.

after today i think that again.

your opp could have an overplayed ace, or 2pair which you have many outs to beat. he could also have a set which sux.

anyway i dont really like your turn raise. usually if i show some strength and someone comes at me on the turn i get passive and try to get to showdown with weaker (bet still decent) hands.
