Hero (BTN): $6.78 (135.6 bb)
SB: $2.95 (59 bb)
BB: $5 (100 bb)
UTG: $7.02 (140.4 bb)
MP: $6.73 (134.6 bb)
CO: $5.17 (103.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with T 9
2 folds, CO raises to $0.15, Hero raises to $0.50, 2 folds, CO calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.07) 5 9 J (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $0.50, CO raises to $1, Hero folds

BB was quite aggro and 3bet 14% over 122 hands so i decided to 3bet on the unknown.
Is just bet folding middle pair in such a spot better than checking behind? as mostly only better calls and what is behind me has great equity

Hey DrRaab,

Preflop 3bet is fine. We don't necessarily need to include this hand in our defend range vs a 3x CO open though.

Generally I prefer bet/fold on the flop to checking back. The reason for this is that our mid-pair is pretty vulnerable and it's going to be very tough to call a turn lead on most cards after we check back.
