Default Not sure I played this correctly, comments appreciated.

Reads: SB and UTG+2 are solid players. Everyone else seems fairly typical (playing certain hands out of position, etc.) with the exception of MP2 who is loose, but erratic.

While betting this hand I kept wondering if I was being stubborn or playing it correctly. I know it isn't scientific or reliable, but the betting by the others had the feel of "I'm betting into this pot... lay down your hand please!"

Here is the hand. All comments appreciated.

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 (poster) calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

River: (14.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 calls, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 20.25 BB

I would fold to the 3-bet on the turn.

If you won this you got lucky.

fold when you are facing 2 bets on the turn.

Folding the turn is my general tactic when faced with a 3 bet, but this time I veered from that and wanted some input on what others thought of the play.

Thank you for the replies. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's -EV. How many outs do you probably have? How often are you drawing dead? How often will you split if an ace falls? How large is the pot? Do you have the odds to continue?
