Is there any avoiding this, I have to follow the 3bet with a cbet as you may assume your hand is still good here and to make villain pay a good price to call with any over cards/ FD . If I check the turn I can expect to face a bet as I'm OOP, surely couldn't fold to that on such a board? At the very best give a free card to a FD by checking. Then by the time I get raised on the turn I'm pot committed and there is a chance my hand could still be good.

I've been playing at NL25 and have taken a hammering just lately so back to NL10 where I'm finding it even harder as I have even less idea what people are up to, this following hand isn't for evaluation, it's to try and show what I mean. Any information or pointers to articles that could be useful regarding hand reading and given plays at the micros would be gratefully received.

It feels somewhat like a lottery at the moment and my lucky dips are not hitting the jackpot!
