Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
5 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, Button 3-bets, SB caps, 1 fold, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB 3-bets, Hero ???

SB is a aggresive player. The only hand I can think im ahead of is AK. Im really only drawing to about 2-3 outs with the backdoor draw. Is this an easy fold or do i cap here and see if SB bets out or check raises the turn?

I think you can fold here unless you had a read on SB as being a LAG.

Also, stop reading CardPlayer magazine so much. It's not that great.

I agree its not great but its still worth 10-15 minutes of entertainment and a few catchy titles I can use in posts.

Is this guy a LAG or a TAG?

He played a bit LAGish preflop but postflop was usually raising with solid hands like top pair etc. Never saw him get too out of line.

In that case I would call the flop cap just so he doesn't start taking shots at me in the future plus you are getting 19:1. I would definitely fold the turn if I don't improve. If he was to check the turn, I would definitely check behind, since he might be attempting a check-raise.
