Here's an interesting hand from this morning. Some notes:

- Both villains who saw the flop here (excluding BB) are TAgg regs who know their way around 3-bets.
- I had 3-bet UTG twice this morning and he folded to one, flatted the other and then folded on the flop.
- I had really been sparring with MP - he raises his button quite a lot, which was my BB, so I had 3-bet in that spot a few times. One hand I 3-bet and got called, then check-raised a flop of KJx, and had to fold when he pushed over. Another hand I just called his button raise with AJs and then check-raised a jack-high flop, and he folded. We were taking more shots at each other in terms of 3-betting and check-raising than anyone else at the table.
- Pre-flop is auto-3-bet for me like 99% of the time. I called here pretty much as an experiment and to see if I could get a decent, aggressive player (either of them) to overplay something. I'm interested in the merits of that. Should I have just 3-bet, and stop getting tricksy (even though I expect to play a lot more with these guys)?
- My river bet - good spot to value bet? What do you think of the bet size? I couldn't put him on the straight when he checked, and I didn't figure there was any way he had a set. But I thought he might look up a weaker bet if he had a worse 2 pair, since my hand is thoroughly under-repped.

I don't mind pre once in awhile and post-flop looks good.

Worse hands call, better hands raise. Looks good?
