Should we 3-bet this particular flop or just flat call it? On the one hand I think 3-bet is better because I mix my game, but on the other if I play 3-bet CO may fold (which is not good for me) and furthermore I think that after 3-betting this flop I also need to bet the turn since I don't want to be face up. Which option is the best then?
1) cold call flop, c/c turn
2) 3-bet flop, b/c turn
3) 3bet flop, c/c turn
