SB checks, Hero bets, BTN raises, SB folds, Hero 3-bets, BTN calls

River: (16.5 BB) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets, BTN calls

Results: 18.5 BB pot (0.3 BB rake)
Final Board: 8 4 2 8 3

BTN same guy as in the AKo hand i just posted the 28/22/8.6 TAG reg
SB: a nitty 23/17/18 reg

So due to SB being the nit I think hey lets call and wait for river to raise. thinking BTN would take a call aswell since I cant really see what he would have if he had the board crushed that would be better than me (aka nothing )

So I obv call only to see BTN raise and SB 3betting and im like "oh darn" So I decided to either lets just cap or call is better? as it looks weak if the guys had like 8 or high FDs ?

Anyway I decided to cap and thought like their ranges could very well be flushes aswell and I doubt BTN can get away from his Flushes even though the nit raised and looks strong.

obv rest is played as it should.

what should I have done on the flop ? As I think the call/cap is what the fishes use to trap with very strong hands(seen that before a lot of times) But what would that mean to these 2 guys and how does it look Did I make a mistake because the turn would be one hell of a good card if I had just called them down on flop and they'd think oh hes got an 8 (if they have a flush)

I dont blame you for just calling the Flop and keep BU in with weak Pairs and weak Flushdraws that he'd otherwise folded, facing 2SB to call. On the other hand i like just starting out with action right away and hope that BU is coldcalling, maybe 3betting or that SB is going to 3bet and you might cap IP to fake a high flushdraw and induce another donkbet by SB on the Turn. Preflop is a fold. Your Ax is way too often dominated.

After you called the Flop and then you capped, it looks quite like the hand you have. A slowplayed monster. The question is how well BU can read your hand. Although his raise is strong, he could still have a bunch of weaker Flushdraws or just K8 Q8 that he is raising again with to "protect" his hand and on these limits people think more in absolute, than in relative hand strenght. It means he is seing his trips but is not thinking twice about what you represent.

So since you're just beaten by 22 44 and 88 and these are just a few combos and as i said: he might still have just trips and enough worse flushes => 3bet is fine and bet River again.

Basically i raise the Flop right away but its not that bad to disguise your hand and drag BU in with some weaker hands. If the turn gets 4 :heart: and SB bets again, you should obviously just call since a raise is just too strong and you'll create foldequity at a spot where you dont wanna have foldequity. ;)
