I've been fairly aggro, maybe 28-22-5 or something. Got caught trying to steal a big pot a few hands earlier - any image I have is trash. Thoughts on the flop 3-bet?

Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed)

Button ($7.30)
Hero ($27.89)
BB ($13.34)
UTG ($4.12)
MP ($12.19)
CO ($10.27)

Preflop: Hero is SB with [Ac], [Qc].
3 folds, Button calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.35, BB calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25.

Flop: ($1.05) [Qh], [As], [3h] (3 players)
Hero bets $1.05, BB raises to $2.1, Button calls $2.10, Hero raises to $9.45, BB raises to $13.09 (All-In), Button calls $4.85 (All-In), Hero calls $3.64.

I think you played this hand well. Flop 3-bet is good, you don't wanna let button draw to whateaver he's drawing to.

I can't see anyone having AA/QQ here given PF, so you're only behind 33 and you're likely facing one flush draw here.

I would agree with griffey I think your way ahead here more often than not. I would raise more preflop though especially after a limper to something like .5, but overall the hand is played fine in my book.

You played it well. You're only realistically afraid of one hand, 33. Now start chanting "Noflushnoflushnoflushnoflushnoflushnoflush"

thanks, I thought it was good but wanted opinions rather than patting myself on the back without checking my play. Anyway, BB had AJ, other had a flush draw. I was worried when the turn was a king, but my hand held up fine. Think I never would have got that action playing tighter, cleaner poker... Cheers

As you said, ABC poker might be good but it's because of the "trash" image that got you the two players all-in in the first place, sometimes some mis-information leads you to take other pots in the future when this situation arises.

But here is my question, should you now play tighter after this or looser?

Would the players call you again if you made a play at a pot, or would they now respect your bets and raises, post-flop? Or does it entirely depend on the opponent[s] involved?
Mr Inconsistency....that is moi!!!!!

i dont think image is that much of a factor at 10nl. i doubt they are paying attention, and if they are hes probably not going to seem that trashy to them anyways.
