i can't make a case for anything other than checking back here. villain 3-bet you PF, so AQ, QQ & KK are well within his range. you're probably behind here and i doubt he's folding to a flop bet even if he does have JJ or 10-10

i did end up checking it back. Then he potted me on the Turn so i just folded.

usually i just c-bet those kinda flops but he confused the hell out of me by limping UTG and then 3-betting my raise preflop.

i dunno.... sucky situation. after the hand i felt like i played it wrong on the flop.

but i guess theres nothing you can do there.

Your PF raise looks weak to me, if I'm the villain. I wouldn't be surprised if this were a bluff.

The PF call of the re-raise is bad. Why put in almost 1/3 of your stack PF if you're planning to check/fold a bad flop?

As played, it's a puke fold. You've stuck yourself in a bad spot, but you don't have much hope here.

I agree that your PF raise is really bad. With that many limpers you need to raise to ~150. I think you need to be either 4 betting pre, or c-betting this flop. I agree with Niles you can't call his PF raise then just give up the hand if you don't hit which will happen about 2/3 of the time.
