I like a smooth call on the flop and try for the check raise again on the turn.

Maybe I'm being to str8 forward but what is wrong with capping and just leading the whole way with our top set? Are we really going to get in a 2nd c/r?

I'm with you.Frond.Maybe most of the time you can get the check-raise in,but when it checks through on the turn,it really sucks.

Capping & leading will always get reasonable value,seems like.

This is the question. How sure are we that flop 3/bettor will follow through on the turn? 2 bets twice on the turn is certainly preferable, but whiffing would suck.

If you really wanna get sexy, try calling the flop and bet/3 betting the turn. May not work all the time or be the most +EV but it is very sexy.

If you want to get really sexy you 3 bet the flop AND checkraise the turn. OR

bet/3 bet the turn AND CR the river. Yeah, that is the sexiest.

It is pretty uncommon for live players to 3 bet overs here vs a good player and a fish. His 3 bet will almost always be an overpair. You just don't really want to see an Ace on the turn since if he has KK he may get scared that one of you has him beat. That may be a good card to change plans and lead out.
