Of all the decisions in poker, it feels most like I'm guessing when deciding whether to 3 bet a turn raise with an overpair or TPTK. Here I think it's OK. You may be behind half the time, but you are getting an overlay from the other players in. Obviously it sucks when UTG call caps. But I can't fold the turn since I have 2 clean outs, and I can't fold the river because a new monitor is expensive.

A 3-bet on the turn has to be good if you're going to go to the river 4-handed. I think you're ahead often enough for it to be profitable.

I'm not crazy about the turn 3-bet.

With those stats these guys play almost anything, they limped in, someone really could have a 6.

Also, it doesn't appear to be a position raise to clear the field, he's raising two players, and then the button calls two cold!? Not many reasonable draws out there.

With that turn action I think it's closer to a fold than a 3-bet, but I'd call it down after you get raised on the turn.

The question isn't whether to 3-bet the turn, the question is whether to show this hand down. Guy has an AF &lt; 1 and you're 3-betting him after action like this?

Is MP all-in on the turn? He disappears from the action.

I dont think I 3bet the turn against a passive guy. Its unlikely he ll raise a ten here as he is scared of the Sixes himself.
When UTG call-caps, you are behind to one of them (or both) practically every time, got odds for your 2outer though. I dont think you are ever good on the river but calling cant be a crime.

Playing 60% of your hands, aggression of 0.8 isn't really all that passive. Not to mention possible sample size issues, etc.
