Default Did I play this too strong?

First hand at table so no reads.. wasn't sure what to do once I was raised on the flop... and ended up bouncing most of the field. Should I have slow played it?

Preflop is a mess.

I think your flop 3-bet is fine and worked well, although I would also consider a stop n go if the button is particularly aggressive but not a maniac. Your hand isn't incredibly vulnerable here against a preflop raiser.

Don't post in MP2, don't call the PF raise, but everything else is OK.

Read the post, he was a poster and checked, and then called the raise with 2 suited cards.

Pre-flop was fine, and I don't mind 3 betting the flop.

Why can't he call the raise PF getting 7-1 on his money with 64 suited? I think any 2 suited cards are good for a call there.

Don't post in MP2, but that's not a very important topic here.

DO call the raise back to you. You shouldn't be folding here.

Fastplay the flop, turn, and river. Your hand is strong but not invulnerable. I would checkraise rather than betting, but from there on out, I'm fastplaying it.

I probably just call the flop raise and pop the turn.

I understand that many people would wait for the big blind but that's a seperate issue. Regardless of whether or not you choose to wait or not, I don't think one can argue that calling the raise preflop is incorrect. I have a one-gap suited connector and I'm getting monster odds to call the raise. What I'm more concerned about is if I scared off too many callers with my 3-bet that I might have been able to get to call bets on the turn.
