Default How do you play it?

Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $10.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, UTG folds, CO calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero ???

What's the plan? Villian is 56/8/.7/42 over 248 hands.

I didn't see the stats on villian before, after seeing them now, we are more likely to be behind. I want to see a showdown though. I guess calling down is best, but I may 3bet the flop first.

This is what occurred to me. And doesn't the fact that the guy raised pf after posting make it somewhat less likely his hand is really strong?

He three-bet a UTG raise. This has no fold equity, so I would give him the same range as if he hadn't posted. I think only when a poster raises first in do you need to become suspicious.

I've been wondering about this. When someone posts, I assume that it creates an incentive for others to raise, hoping to pick up the dead money. And if the poster is aware of that, maybe that makes him more willing to reraise?

I'm interested what others think about how a poster increases the chances of raises.

I am wondering why people would donk the turn. Is it only to not give away a free card? In case you do this and get raised this is an easy fold for me. This is not the type of player who raises again on the turn with anything you beat (it is not very likely he raises JJ again)

So in this situation I want to have a cheap SD and am willing to give a free card which he probably doesnt take because he has AA [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
