I'm pretty awful at playing deep, but I'm sure that preflop and flop are good. How do react to his 3bet?

calling the flop is much better than raise folding

when you raise THAT flop, you're gonna get raised or folded on pretty often

[loosbastard]

Ughh...there are like 239056 draws out there. Raise/folding is just so terrible. And you're not even THAT deep.

[KurtSF]

What's his range? QQ+ and AK? Anyone got a stove versus that range?

Thought about this, but aren't there a gagillion cards that suck for me on the turn? I guess being in position makes it easier to play. This might be one of those 'you can raise, but if you do you can't fold' spots.

Also, I think that any other play preflop sucks.

"aren't there a gagillion cards that suck for me on the turn?"

If there are, then unles he has Ac Tc or 9c Tc, which are a very small portion of his range IMO, then there are a gagillion cards that suck for him too. And you are the one in position.

Preflop I would play the same; flop I would flat call again. Maybe you can boat up or if not you get to see what he does again, and can utilize your position in that you get to gain more info on his hand while your perceived range is presumably still quite large.

Jack that's kind of an interesting aside. I don't even know whether it's important in the least, but raising the flop makes it real easy for him to play almost every hand in his range. Calling could make his life miserable on the turn.

Pre-flop is bad, as played I don't mind the fold.

PF is fine against an UTG open.

Preflop is whatever. Raise/folding the flop is lol though.
