I 3bet preflop all day long. Im probably calling down without a read after the flop (this might be a leak of mine).

I 3 bet preflop as well. I come out firing as well, but if you 3 bet, would that be considered spewing?A call down seems to weak here, imo.

Danny,I hate these situations. I'd probably fold because you showed strenght pf, and this guy doesn't care. I'd occassionally call down too. 3-betting pf is my normal play. Sometimes I just call with the intention of raising flops like this. Depends on the tightnesss of the limpers.

i haven't been winning lately, so i've been considering postflop playability as opposed to equity too much in preflop decisions.i really think not 3-betting this preflop would be a significant mistake, so glad everyone agrees with that.no read, but the guy was not crazy, so i don't put him on a bluff here. but i can't say for certain he doesn't have A8, K Q etc etc. seems like an obvious jack here, but i often see people auto-raising preflop raisers on non-ace flops with any pocket pair.i'm glad i 3-bet this post flop, since that makes me feel fine about the fold - i think he's making a mistake raising this without a jack, so i guess that's that.

I don't. In most situations it is a mistake. Not that big of one thoguht.

i'm glad i 3-bet this post flop, since that makes me feel fine about the fold - i think he's making a mistake raising this without a jack, so i guess that's that.

I'm looking for more situations to 3-bet the flop when I don't have top pair. Ice's post about free sd raises made me think.Anyway, I don't think this is a good spot to 3-bet the flop. You have to call a cap on odds alone. You'd cost yourself the same amount by calling the -flop and donking a non-threatening turn.Given your read, I don't think you cost yourself anything by folding this flop.
