nut flush on a paired board

Consider this the opposite of the hand Heisenb3rg just posted.

Reads:
EP - bad, a little too loose, a little too passive, not at all creative
button = 2+2er Aragorn, tight and aggressive
BB - stupid

I miss the blinds and post 6 chips in the cutoff. EP raises, I call with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Aragorn cold-calls on the button, BB calls. (The SB might have called too, but if he did he folded on the flop so ignore it).

Flop comes A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Checked to EP who bets, I call, Aragorn calls, BB calls.

Turn is 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. BB checks, EP bets, I call, Aragorn calls, BB calls.

River is K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks, EP checks, I bet, Aragorn raises, BB folds, EP cold-calls...

Who calls and who 3-bets, and why?

I 3 bet here. First you may have the best hand. 2nd, if Aragorn is full or has quads he will probably not make it four bets because he wants to keep the fish in. Plus if he lets you keep the lead you could bet into him on the river where he'll get the chance to raise you then if he wants... although he may again decide to go for an overcall from the fish.

But, basically, you are getting money from a third party here. Take it. I don't think a strong player with a stronger hand than yours will try to knock out the fish in order to get another bet from you on the turn.

Guess I had a few to drink when I posted that. Doesn't make much sense.
