Message: [QUOTE="CRStals, post: 7129485, member: 161937"] You won't know whether or not MP is calling light but given you have 2k of hands with them at $1 / $2, I have to assume that MP is not someone just picking up the game and playing for the hell of it. Pre-flop - for them to call an UTG raise from MP tells me that they are sitting on a hand of some sorts - you aren't going to war against an UTG player who is probably playing 15% of hands from that spot - some intel on them might help - so calling against that range, I expect them to have suited paint or a pair more than likely. Your three-bet should narrow that range ESPECIALLY because UTG folds, but MP is getting a decent price to call - basically 2 to 1. Flop - I get the check but if you are going to three-bet against a raise and a call, the check to me screams a drawing hand that MP is going to pick up on and use against you - again, I'm giving them credit for skills they may not have but it's all I have to go on. You have the ace of hearts blocker - yes, blockers aren't real, but you can easily rep AKhh in that spot and bet to protect your semi-bluff knowing they don't have the nut flush draw The fact that they called twice pre tells me that they probably play too many hands, but if they are as skilled as they look, your check is bad news for yourself. Turn - a brick hits and misses every draw you are going to have because you three bet pre - unless you three-bet against two players with sixes, you didn't improve on that turn and their bet reflects that. They are playing your range here perfectly, and could be ahead, but in reality they are using your range against you in this spot. Your fold confirmed that for them, and have now opened up a spot they will most likely exploit the next time you three-bet a hand they are in. I'm not saying bet the flop - I'm also not saying fold the river, but if you are going to back down when you miss on that board, you will lose a lot of money long term in three bet pots in my opinion.
