well, so anyway i 3bet the turn.

i don't think it's completely beyond possibility some decent portion of the time not any of us 3 hold a diamond.

i think if one of us holds one, sb is the most likely. i think if one of us holds a less than big diamond, sb is the most likely to be able to fold if i 3bet. i also think bb is certainly capable of holding a diamond, but it is far from necessarily true just based on the action. he commonly overplays hands that he either misvalues or picks wretched spots to overbluff/semioverbluff.

so i thought the pot was big, and 3handed the ranges were wider than the typical fullring games inwhich i play(am i overcompensating?). so reraising and holding my breath seemed reasonable on the fly.

if called in both spots on the turn and then checked to, i would consider a check behind.

if sb folds and bb calls or raises, i showdown, period.

if sb raises or maybe even just calls and bb folds that's possibly the last i'm putting in UI.

also, when considering my suckout equity with the obviousl FH draw, it should be noted my hidden "chop" outs versus the lower part of their [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]range if it becomes HU with either bb/(and probably less often)sb and another decent sized diamond comes.

sadly enough, no joke.

fwiw, in a previous hand bb had capped the turn and river versus me with 67 on a 89TJA board(he was sb and i was bb). i had KQ. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

yeah, this hand was pretty nasty. i definitely charged myself the max to draw when behind.

so i did 3bet, they both called. the river came the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. it checked through. we split the pot 3ways. BB had 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4x. sb turned a straight. he said later(at a full table) that he considered folding it, but thought i was trying to isolate the BB.

i don't play alot of 3 handed, but at times i feel that hands like this help define action for future confrontations. in other words, an occasional play like what i did in this hand will keep them paying off my bottom pair with Khigh(and at some points) Qhigh the rest of the night. do you guys think that's what i really want(from a value perspective), or is it more important to increase the value inherent from my bluff equity?

In typical 3-handed situations, I generally prefer my opponents to be more prone to folding Q and K high than to calling me down. Obviously I want to extract value from my good hands, but "metagame" considerations to keep them calling down when I'm actually going to want them to be folding to me a lot more than I'm going to want them calling me down are not really all that important, and certainly not worth the cost you pay here.
