    KQ (either one of them being a spade...maybe even both) and he figures that if any scare cards come on the turn, then you're probably not putting another chip in the pot?

    why did you 3bet the flop?
    when you do 3bet the flop you should already have made up your mind whether or not you are going to call his shove. if you aren't it would be better to just call or fold to his raise


    i think you are drawing almost dead in this situation

    Yh when he raises you, if you min 3bet back you can't then fold lol. Your 3bet should be for value and then you snap it off or just call his raise and get it in on later street or fold which I'm not sure about, but on 3 suit board probably best option.

    Should never be 3betting here without cast iron read, not even then likely.  Snap fold when 4bet.

    your 3b was basically a bluff - i know you were probz doing it for info but that's def a losing play
    as much as i hate 3b/f with a good hand, you probz do have to fold - you're never good here - either flat his raise and re evaluate the turn, or fold

    Thanks for all the comments. I can see now that it was probably best to just call his raise and reavluate on the turn. However, i had already been re-raised by villain twice in last 20-30mins when i put in my Cbets, had to fold on thoses occasions. This time however i did have a part of the flop so tried to fight back as i thought he could be stealing on that flop, when he then shoved all in it was obvious i had to fold which is what i did as i wasnt beating much really. I suppose it could have made my 3bet bigger but then i would have been left virtually pot committed which i didnt want to be, with that size 3bet i could get away from the hand if shoved on as im almost certainly behind. Is this a fair comment or play badly?

    I think as people said above, if you're not willing to call a shove then just don't 3bet.
