Typical situation in these typical times...

[Yerma]

In most tight shorthanded games, I don't want my opponent to think that he can c/r the flop, and I'll give him a good look at the turn and maybe even a look at the river. I think you should 3-bet this flop with a good hand so that you can also 3-bet this flop with AK when the situation arises. If he 4-bets the flop, I call down unless the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] falls.

Now, if he lead-bet into you on the flop, I think you are more justified in waiting for the turn to raise.

This is pretty intriguing, but I'm having a hard time understanding. How does him check-raising give him a "good look" at the turn and river? Wouldn't he get that by just check-calling? Do you think that he thinks he might be able to get the turn checked through if he check-raises now?

And I'm trying to think of a good situation to 3-bet this flop with AK and I'm not finding it (unless it's A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]).

I think that A9 is in most players range of hands in this situation. It's just one of many possible hands, but it's a lot more likely than AT given the action.

What would he have raised UTG but not capped to a reraise?

88-JJ seems likely, with a possible AQ/AK.

What would he raise this flop with?

The same pairs, or AQ/AK with 1 or 2 hearts.

I'd reraise, then call down if he caps it.
