3s everywhere!

3-handed table. It just broke from 5 handed perhaps 6-8 hands before this one. The villain in SB is playing far too aggressively and villain in BB is trying his best to adjust to SB's action, and is doing sort of okay.

Call, hope SB treys. Then jam the turn.

Hero calls ahead hoping the two villains will keep it up and raises/caps any turn card.

3bet. you'll get more action than by using the much scarier wait-for-the-turn line.

With SB playing so agressively and BB raising the flop, is there anything wrong with calling BB's flop raise and waiting for the turn to raise ?

3-handed i just 3bet it now; they won't believe us anyway given your reads and the state of the game and if we coldcall and pop the turn (BIG HAND ALERT LOL) even [censored] might get it.

[censored] = dumba$$es btw, ftw, ldo

What you say is often/usually valid but in this situation I think the pot gets bigger if we let them punch themselves out a little. Maybe even wait for the river if they seem still aggro on the turn?

This one depends for me. If SB and BB have been fighting back and forth the last 10 hands or so it might look like you're finally trying to fight back (and could come off as doing so lightly). I'd raise here if that's the case.

If you think SB and BB can go into their raising war and forget about you along the way, call and get into the action on the turn.

On the other hand, we open-raised pf, so 3-betting the flop implies overpair or set, easier to shut down for opponents.

I'd call and jam turn.

probably doesnt matter what you do. if anyone can read hands a flop coldcall means you have an overpair at least, but BB will never check a blank turn if he has a pair. if SB will coldcall 2 more on the flop with 43, you really, really need to 3-bet now. but you don't know this so you can't know what to do, which is why it probably doesn't make a big difference.
