Standard right? Defending and flopping a big draw.

[Guy McSucker]

Stars $5/10. I have 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB.

UTG folds. TAG-ish MP raises. Folded to me and I call.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Yay.

I check-raise the flop with the plan of betting the turn unless it's an A, K or Q.

<font color="blue">Is that a standard line for everyone? How do you handle a flop three-bet? And what do you do on the river if he calls the check-raise, calls the turn bet, and you miss.</font>

Thanks,

Guy.
