Default This pot\'s getting too big for my marginal hand...

I have button at 32/4/2.3 and SB at 32/18/3.



Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $235.50
Hero: $774.70
CO: $1026.25
Button: $246.70
SB: $777.90
BB: $1132.10

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $16</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($52, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $32</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $100</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($352, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero ???

What's going on here?
What should I have done on the flop?

raising the flop is fine, now bet/fold and check behind river, easy.

However, you are almost 200bbs deep, and do you know how you'll react to a 3bet? Marginal hands don't want big pots, like your title says...

I would assume he didn't notice button CCing the raise, he probably thinks it's HU with the blind who may have a draw.

Well I was planning on at least folding out the button, which would have made the pot 1/3 smaller. Jesus Christ...
