nuts = raise? you can tank for a bit and just smooth call, UTG still yet to act, you can milk him also, as long as the board dosen't pair you are golden

personally i'd make it ~3300

MP3 likes his hand...maybe a set...I'd make it 3200 and induce him to push

Raise the flop to 1750.

Call the turn to try to get UTG's action too. A 3 bet looks really strong and is going to induce a fold from any hand that wouldn't pay off on the river. If you do raise it should be to about 3000-3500 to make it easy to get the money in on the river.

There is no reason to think that MP3 loves his hand. It is very likely that he reads UTG as being an idiot and he is raising to knock you out of the hand.

On a tangential note if you are heads up and someone leads the flop for 300 and then the turn for 300 you should probably raise the turn somewhere between 90%-100% of the time

Thanks!!

Ur absolutely right. the second 300 looks donkish in MP3's eyes so he could easily be isolating w/ a jack or even a middle PP.
