I really have no idea where I stand in these sort of situations. I realize at this level preflop 3-betting is rarely done except with big pocket pairs and AK. The only hands I could possibly beat here would be something like AK, but he's unlikely to double barrel with that sort of hand.

Default Re: Top pair against possible overpair

Read lots of threads from the uNL Essential Section and SSNL Master Sticky, that will help your game a lot.

As for the hand, fold QTs in early position PF (especially when you are not confident with your OOP post-flop game) and fold to the 3bet. As played I would probably fold the flop and you will rarely be able to get to SD here.

The Ts has changed to the Tc btw.
