what a sucky spot. i don't like it either, but i don't think hero can just check/fold after the 3-bet preflop. problem is only a Txxx or KKxx will call.

the 3-bet preflop makes this hand so ugly to play. it leaves hero with no room to maneuver on the flop, especially against half-stacks and oop. i think a call there is 10x more sexy. you can still get the ~50bb-stacks in fast when you hit and you can easily check/fold these nasty flops in small pots.
