utg+1 TAG raises, hero 3 bets with A

. BB aggro/jerk calls and we see a flop 3 handed for 9 total small bets.

Flop is 6

-5

-J

. Hero bets, call call. (6 big bets pot)

Turn is the 7

. Jerk checks, UTG+1 bets, hero calls to see what jerk does. Jerk obliges by check/raise and UTG+1 calls. (11 big bets so far)

your line?

which

3-bet please. Even jerks may slow down on the river after being called in two spots like this, and it may check to you on the river. Put in the extra action now -- you're likely to be called by both players, and possibly on the river as well. Even if you were to wait, you'd probably only get at most 2 bets in on the river, so unless these players make excellent laydowns, there's not much incentive to a slowplay.

RU guys serious?

12 bad pairing cards on the river that may hurt action (+ several straight-flush cards), but unless these guys are morons, I like a river raise.

You have the donker in front, and the middle guy with like Q

.

Just call and bet/raise the river.

Ya.

Also call/3bet pretty much flips our hand face up to A

(or stray frush).

I just call the turn for sure. you have good position to get in a river raise against 2 opponents. And if they check to you, I don't think it is too bad because you are more likely to get paid off by playing the hand this way. if you 3-bet the turn you might get folds right there from them.

I'd 3-bet because the others are demonstrating a willingness to put money into the pot right now which I'd like them to do because I don't know if they will be willing on the river. IOW, you don't have to get tricky in anyway, they don't need to be coddled. They're willing to give action NOW and I'd oblige them.

I agree with this statement. However, I also believe it is another good opportunity to make a joke about someone's mother. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here well enough to make jokes about their mother.
