Shill, please expand a bit on this. I imagine there are a number of people (me included) who may benefit from it. thx

here's my take, won't compare to brads, but I think this is a classic wait for the turn to raise. I'm 3 betting this preflop cause I want to see what utg is going to do. if he caps, i'm likely to check/fold the flop, but with him just calling, I'm opening up his range. I think you can toss out AA-QQ, maybe half the AK hands. I'm looking for a medium strength raising hand now from utg. my guess is AQ KQ or 99-JJ. I am playing any raggy flop, or any flop without and A or a K. When he calls the flop bet, I'm pretty much thinking I'm behind. on the turn, I'm likely to bet/fold, but I don't think that's correct.

Now, put yourself in UTG's shoes. You raise with KQs utg, and SB 3 bet's. Hmmm, ok, I'll call. Flop somes K high and SB still likes his hand. Well, I'm not folding top pair just yet. The turn is a brick, time to find out where I stand and throw a raise in there. If SB makes it 3 on the turn, I may have to let top pair go......if only I had a read.
