This is a spot that is grossly misplayed by most people holding your hand. I really dont like re-potting this flop unless my oponent is too aggressive or just sucks. IMO, you're usually going to be a coin flip on the flop if you get it in there, and you'll be a 3-2 dog more often than you're going to be a favorite. That said, I like your line on the flop and the turn. It changes a bunch if there's someone else in the pot with you, but on the turn you're heads up and you'll be committing a ton of chips with a very small chance to scoop and you still cant beat a set of threes and imho the majority of your opponents hands will have a free roll on you.


Tough play, hard to rationalize folding unless you've played a lot of PLO8, but you played the hand well. Besides, there's a healthy amount of turn cards where you can get your chips in with much more equity.

This is a great situation to see a safe turn card, and on the flop and turn, it's the old maxim about picking a better spot.
