Hero is three off the button. This PF raise is absolutely standard.

The question on the flop action is fold or 3-bet. The arguments for folding have been made. Anybody see any reason to 3-bet here?

I can imagine cold calling here as a stretch, but I guess if you had a good read your hand was goot you could three bet...i wouldn't make it a permanent part of my game though. I really would like to hear a good argument for it, it would be iinteresting.

I fold here, although I may be in the minority. You're probably dominated by either the SB or the BB here, drawing to only a few outs. Staying in to see the showdown will be too expensive IMO.

I call this PF, but no way am I folding it in MP1.

I probably fold the flop, but a cold-call here isn't unreasonable. IMO, this is a case of reverse implied odds. Chances are we're going to be putting in quite a few BBs to stay in the hand, and whether we're in the lead here is prety close to a coin-flip, especially with no real reads. I fold, sit back and watch this hand play out, then use the info later in the session when things are bit more +EV.

I think you're done with this hand. You don't know what SB is going to here so I don't think you can call. It was a nice attempt to raise preflop, but let it go now.

Ew. limping w/ this PF and cold calling this flop are pretty weak IMO.

ATo and Big Pot are generally mutually exclusive terms.

I think I can let this go when it is two to me on the flop, and all I have in terms of redraws is 2 backdoor draws one of which is very weak.
