I like this hand from start to finish.

Looks fine to me, seriously.

Does 3 betting this turn make any sense because there is still a 3rd guy in the middle? If I get capped then I know for sure he has the str8 and can fold the river UI?

No, 3-betting is spewing. Just call and pray he has a lesser 2-pair.

Before this you didn\'t know BB was crazy. If you had seen a hand like this prior then clearly 3 betting the turn is the right play. But since you had no such knowledge I think you played fine, but don\'t do it again vs this guy!

9 handed 10-20 live full Ring. Game is in the first half hour so it is a little more snug then usual.

I am UTG w AJo I raise, folded to poster (competent player) calls, BB (is an Asian I never played with before but he is waiting for a 20-40 seat) calls.

Flop QJ3r

Ck, I bet,poster calls, BB raises, I call, poster calls.

Turn A

BB cks, I bet , poster calls, BB RAISES!. Now I freeze an put him on KT but still call, poster calls.

River is a Q

Well the other posibility for the BB was QJ so this river sucks. If he had 33 I was beat anyway.

BB bets, I fold, poster calls.

Comments on all streets please. I realize AJo UTG is very borderline but with a semi tight game conditions and dead money from the poster I feel good about my raise. More interested in post flop play.

Joe,

Thanks for your input. Does 3 betting this turn make any sense because there is still a 3rd guy in the middle? If I get capped then I know for sure he has the str8 and can fold the river UI?

To be honest if the river did not pair Q\'s I think I would have called hoping to see QJ, your thoughts?

Well thanks for the feedback. As I said, the poster called the river and the Big BLlind had J9o and the poster won the pot with Q8s. I know the poster would have folded to my 3 bet on the turn and I would have won the pot. That is why I posted this hand.
