You mean 3-betting Preflop? Yeah, I think a pf three-bet here is pretty standard.

Rest of the hand would be pretty read dependent. Except that I think you gotta bet the flop if you 3-bet preflop.

If he isn't incredibly donkish, and caps preflop, I would check-call one on the flop and check-fold the turn U/I.

If he just calls the preflop raise, I'd bet/call one on the flop, and check/fold the turn U/I.

Who taught you how to play??

Why would someone fold the flop when you showed no strengh preflop??

What is with you people tring to "slow play" before the flop and then check raiseing after you miss thinking you can push some off there hand??

Stop tring to be tricky against online amauters.

I probably wouldn't 3 bet this outta the big blind. You're out of position and totally lost when you miss the flop and are forced to bet into both of them on the flop.

If you just call here, I think it is pretty hard to put you on AK and youll be able to get some extra bets in when someone is pounding away with their AJ thinking they are gold on an A high flop.

3bet this every time. You have such a big equity edge you are just throwing away money when you don't.

Uh I wasn't attempting to slowplay. See looshle's response above this post. I'm OOP, and there's someone else in for 2. When I'm not on the big blind this is a standard 3 bet.

The check raise on the flop was attempting to represent a midpair or a 9, while putting him on A-K, A-Q, A-J. The J on the turn was a bit of a scare card, but I couldn't stop taking the lead.
