I 3-bet the flop 100% of the time.

As played... I would call down, I think, although I like the idea of a turn raise. Actually, I like it better.

I 3bet the flop here all the time. I'd c/f the turn or river if another heart fell though. As played, you have to raise the turn.

I like the flop call. I think this is a good chance to wait for a safe turn card. I like a turn raise here but Id be a bit worried about one of the flop CC flopping a flush.

Tricky situation.

There is so much value in a flop 3bet here, I just couldn't turn it down.
You are very often ahead.
And every opponent will always give you an extra bet on this flop.
Easy money.

Waiting to see a safe turn is not as helpful when we are out of position.
And when the turn is not "safe" (J?), are we check-folding?

Point:
3betting the flop is often very very good.
Waiting until the turn often leaves us in the same confusing situation.
Thus I 3bet the flop.

As played, I lead this seemingly innocent turn.
We can't passively check-call down 2 streets vs 3 opponents with a vulnerable pair of 9's on this dangerous board.
That would be horrible.

Are we hoping to check-raise an expected bet from UTG?
Can we really expect him to bet again vs three guys?

As played, I feel that we have gotten ourselves in a mess with the passive play so far.
But I still raise the turn.

I am still learning what hands are good at one point, I didn't really realize how good top pair top kicker is, I have played so many years of NL and Stud I have spent learning not to over value it.
