Right to slow down at this time (when I´m raised on the turn)? When he capped it pre I´d think he most likely has KK, QQ or AK. Him calling my 3 bet on the flop and then raising the turn when a blank comes confused me a bit and I got worried about JJ so I just called it down from there.

i think you slowed down at the exact point i would... his keeping it at 3 on the flop and then raising the turn spells JJ here more often to me than KK or QQ... not worth opening yourself up to a cap here...

I think you played perfectly. Regarding his starting hand you forgot to mention one: his holding the other A,A...

I like slowing down on the turn when raised, but what about c/r'ing UTG+2 on the turn and maybe trapping MP3 for another BB those times when UTG+2 has KK, QQ, or the other AA? After all, this is 2/4 and MP3 may call down all the way with something like AJ, KJ, etc., as long as he's only faced with one bet at a time. Maybe that would be a little much, but I'd like to see what everyone thinks of this route.

I think you can throw in one more raise... I can see myself playing the same way if I was villian with QQ or KK.

Your reasonsing being?

The only reason I wouldn't three bet this turn is cause villain may fold worse hands. I'm really reevaluating my play on the turn cause I three bet a LOT of hands from oop and get folded to a lot. My stronger hands I need to start calling and leading the river.

If you don't think he'll fold, I three bet the turn. But a 10/7/1.6 may find a fold there with KK or definitely QQ. I 100% for sure bet that river if I just call the turn raise.

I think you definitely have to slow down on the turn, but do you think that a 10/7 player will cap PF with JJo? I wouldn't be surprised if he showed down aces here. I think you definitely want to showdown your hand and you don't want to get fourth street capped, so just call down. I think it's equally likely for him to have JJ and KK, plus he has AA some % of the time so you don't really have a reason to push.
