3s everywhere!

3-handed table. It just broke from 5 handed perhaps 6-8 hands before this one. The villain in SB is playing far too aggressively and villain in BB is trying his best to adjust to SB's action, and is doing sort of okay.

Call, hope SB treys. Then jam the turn.

3bet. you'll get more action than by using the much scarier wait-for-the-turn line.

Really? Because if I'm either one of the Villains and Hero 3-bets here, I know he has at least TPTK and probably no less than an overpair. Whiffed overs are not three-jacking this ugly-ass flop.

I smooth-call this. The OP reads said that the two Villains have been dick-waving since the table got to three-handed. I say let them have their pissing contest; if we're really lucky, it will go raise/cap behind us, and then go bet/raise on the turn. Then we trey that mug and suddenly they're stuck in a 10+ BB pot drawing thin if not dead.

If we're going to give away the strength of our hand, anyway, I'd rather do it on the big-bet street.

3-handed you're not giving away that much strength by 3-betting. If you're opponents are at all decent though, just the cold call itself is scary.

Again, because it's 3-handed and you have positon, a 3-bet from a whiffed big slick is plausible.

It's just going to take these guys a lot longer to figure out that they're screwed if you 3-bet up front. On average I'd wager it'll even get you more bets in the latter rounds.

What hands are you even considering cold calling here that aren't monsters?

A whole lot of (combo)draws come to mind...

Hero calls ahead hoping the two villains will keep it up and raises/caps any turn card.

[Fantam]

With SB playing so agressively and BB raising the flop, is there anything wrong with calling BB's flop raise and waiting for the turn to raise ?

3-handed i just 3bet it now; they won't believe us anyway given your reads and the state of the game and if we coldcall and pop the turn (BIG HAND ALERT LOL) even [censored] might get it.
