Hero (SB): $13.32 (133.2 bb)
BB: $13.32 (133.2 bb)
UTG: $10.44 (104.4 bb)
MP: $12.39 (123.9 bb)
CO: $17.62 (176.2 bb)
BTN: $17.84 (178.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K Q
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.30, Hero raises to $1, BB folds, BTN calls $0.70

Flop: ($2.10) K 3 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $1.10, BTN calls $1.10

Turn: ($4.30) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.10, BTN raises to $4.60, Hero folds

Preflop: It would be a standard call, but since the BB is quite aggressive, I decided to 3bet.

Flop: Hit TP, so I think cbet is standard. The flush is possible, which favorizes cbetting even more.

Turn: Here is a tricky spot, but I think I should cbet, rather than check/call. I'm planning to check/call or check/fold the river. When he raised, I think that, given it's a 3bet pot, I have to fold.

BTN: 14/14/14 (VPIP/PFR/H)

If you have a legit reason not to call but to 3 bet, it is ok. Some players defend from SB only by 3 betting. After c betting the flop, what do you think of x/calling the turn?

I think it's fine, but I prefer betting when flushdraws are possible.

Flushdraws are not that big of an issue in a 3 bet pot.

You are right. Maybe I might check/call.

Why is the turn a tricky spot? The only tricky thing the turn brings is a set of sevens, which can happen if the villain decided to peel another card. Flush draws are not an issue in 3bet pot.

Here, I'd either b/f turn or c/evaluate turn. Bet/fold has the advantage that you know for sure that you're beat if you get raised. Check/evaluate has the advantage of pot control and you might save some money if the villain decides to bet big (75%+ of the pot).

It's tricky because I have weak TP in the 3bet pot and the board is not the driest one. It's hard just to check/fold (but it's certainly an option) and I don't know should I bet or check/call. With check a) I give free cards to flusdraws (ok, we agree that it's not a big issue in 3bet pots), b) I give him an initiative and my hand can't stand 2barrels, so he can potentially bluff me with entire range.

I prefer bet/fold turn then check/call and having no ideea where I stand. To much guessing if I check/call.
