Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, SB completes, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

I think you played this fine. HU a lot of hands that you beat will call you here.

I don't like the river raise. He isn't folding a better hand and Ace high probably isn't calling you... so you are putting him on 44/55/A-paired-x that will payoff?

AK probably isn't calling, but KT and A8 sure are. Raise is good.

What does that open complete->3bet move mean?

people make crazy plays, calls, and raises in hu blind defense scenarios. I've had many solid players call me in spots like this with a big Ace.

I like it.

IMO you'd have to know he'd sometimes be on total air to call a 3-bet. every time I get 3-bet here it's by at least a 9.

I agree with bt that a good player won't call this raise with anything you beat. A donkish not-so-smart player might; but without a read that he's Lagtastic, I'd rather make the safer play. And besides, even donkbats get monster pairs sometimes too.
