When do you 3-bet drawing hands

[GreggyB]

I play pretty hyper-aggressive on the 1/2 6 max tables, typically trying to push the action and then quickly get out of the way when I get pushed back if I'm not holding anything. I rarely limp PF in these games, and I rarely am just flat calling after the flop. It seems to work well but I haven't been tracking my stats long enough to know if its really working.

This is the type of hand though that I'm worried about. I have a decent draw on the flop, there's three other players in. I'm not too worried about an overpair like QQ, KK, AA on the flop due to the way PF action went. Poker Office has me as .8:1 to improve by the river with the flush draw and over cards. So my question is this... is the 3-bet on the flop correct or should I have just called the raise?

Everything looks good to me. Although your draw is not to the nuts, I would assume I'm good here 99% of the time it comes in.

With 2 callers you can 3 bet this flop. If it comes back capped, be cautious of the board pairing...

Do you have the read on the button? Any possibility he has one of those smaller pairs in the hole?

That aside, I'm not aggressive enough to tell you to 3-bet this flop, but, if it was me, and my overcards were pretty weak, I would've probably just called, and possibly got more aggression in later betting rounds.

more like 85-90ish

and everything was fine in this hand

also most 1/2 6max aren't hyper agressive(seriously go watch 10/20 6max sometime) they are fairly agressive but you see free flops from the BB a fairly high % of the time

they are more aggressive than almost all .5/1, and 1/2 full games though

[GreggyB]

I agree about most players not being hyper-agressive, which is why i feel like playing that way works on these tables. *Most* of the play is pretty straight forward. Typically I feel like I can raise PF then bet out mid pair if checked to me and dump it if I get pushed back.

Still learning though.

3 bet is fine.

Perfect time to value 3-bet your draw. Nice hand.
