Preflop is this an overaggresive raise.?

Flop I think its ok to raise and try to get it HU here.

Sorry can't remember any stats on the players.

Turn..?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, A.
UTG calls, 3 folds, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, UTG calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 3, 7, 8 (3 players)
UTG bets, MP3 folds, Hero raises, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 9 (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero...?

It's already HU by the time it gets back to you. In an online game I don't like this flop raise because you'll get 3-bet and Stop'n'Goed by a wide range of hands.

Would this guy stop n go on a draw? Think he hit that straight? Is he on the flush draw? Does he have a set? Two pair? I think all these are likely candidates, I think a fold could be made here if you have a solid read you are beat, if you not the obvious play is to call, but is that the best play? Is a raise bettor in this situation if you are unsure? I think know the right play here you just have to think about it...

Oops, well I guess the flop raise is just me being aggro here.

UTG did make stop n go and I folded the turn. However I'd used to be calling a lot of that but now I think letting go on the turn is way better.

There is one heart on the board, 8H. Anyways you really think I should call this down. He did make stop n' go on the turn. And the turn makes this board even more coordinated plus it is an overcard to my midpair.

Anyways this must be a pretty close one I don't think I'm given up on much folding this...

Hand is easier if you limp instead of raise preflop. I don't like raising this into 2 limpers.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

I raise here sometimes depending on table texture, how much UTG+MP3 suck and how tight the blinds are.
