Too Aggressive on Turn with KT's?

UTG will raise any suited connectors from all positions, along with hands that have an Ace or King.

Button plays weak-tight and calls down a lot of second best hands.

Should I have 3-bet this turn or just call his raise?

I like the 3-bet if the button puts dead money in the pot.

Without getting too indepth... To 3-bet here you have to expect to have the best hand a good amount of time and... the button needs to be willing to either fold his worse hands with outs or be too loose to let go with substandard hands once he puts bets in. That and I'd have to expect the raiser to be able to go crazy with suited cards on the turn there (most of which I hope are going to be lower then mine).

Most of the time this will all be too iffy and it'll be better to just call down without improvement and to raise if you improve.
