3/6: 76s flops second pair on the button.

It's fine. So is calling and raising the turn. Really depends on the guy, but I think anyone who's 24/13 is probably trying to read hands and you can reasonably represent a hand. Those numbers, with their looseness and aggression, suggest he's thinking.

People who want to check the flop should get their heads examined.

does anyone else but me say muck this preflop????/ seriously am i missing somthing????? and uhh i would only play it as a steal raise hand. unless a very infrequent " i call a raise and then fold the flop" guy comes along and hes the only guy in the pot.

Yeah, you're missing easy money.

A nice lower-medium suited non-gapper connector in last position with 2 other limpers in a loosy goosy game is prime poker real estate.

As for the hand, I like a flop bet with the possible best hand and with great semi-bluff potential by representing that Ace, but the 3-bet just seems ridiculous. Okay, maybe its to try to isolate UTG... but with what, a 5 outer against his possible better hand?

And the results are just wierd. Perhaps you have a fantastic read and know that this kind of bluff-c/r on the flop is common with UTG. Then I might agree. Did you have this knowledge? Otherwise, I have no idea what you are doing here other than posting a hand in which you got lucky on a misplay.

ok then would you raise like he did or just call. it seems that at best youll flop bottom pair and have reverse odds to deal with if you are getting called.

You should probably reread the opening hands section in SSHE or a similar book. You're hoping to see the flop cheaply. If you don't flop a big hand, or draw to a big hand, you can get away from the hand for only a single sb - which will happen most of the time. But when you do hit a hand, it'll typically be very strong and you'll be able to collect lots of bets from the rest of the field, and make up for all the times that you folded on the flop.

Raising here doubles the minimum amount it costs to play this hand, which doubles the amount you need to win on big hands to make a profit, and so it's really out of the question.

PF call is good with small suited connectors.
Flop bet is good, nobody has shown any interest so you may have the best hand and you don't want to give free cards to the draws.
Flop 3bet is spewing, unless you have a read that he pulls this kind of c/r then fold move often.
