I think on the end I would have just called the 3bet. Nerdking PM me if you want to exchang advice, I have a bunch of hands with you, I'm Beaten_Battered.

[rzk]

the initial river raise is close but probably ok, definitely just call after he 3-bets.

[mvoss]

Does everyone like the flop raise? I'm not crazy about it.

[QuietEarner]

he has overs and A high flush draw. Don't we want to build the pot.

[yourface]

flop raise is bad imo
if he's bluffing there is more value in letting him spew off, and if he has a pair he isn't folding
also calling preserves our implied odds for when we hit

edit: bad is a bit strong, we often have a small equity edge. I think calling is better though

[thepizzlefosho]

keep calling and raise if you improve. As played I often don't raise the river. the initial river raise is close, but I think the cap is spew.

[rzk]

would you raise the flop if you had AsTs on a Td7s5s board? As7s on a Ts7d5s board?

[milesdyson]

AsTs on a Td7s5s mostly
As7s on a Ts7d5s nope
