A timely reminder..

I played a couple of 3/6 tables just now, and was sickened by the following beat:

AA in the pocket, board runs Ts3s4d8d5d. The villain turns over 67 to make his gutshot on the river. Huge pot, multiway action. Sick, sick, sick. I was UTG+1, and only cold called the UTG raise PF - perhaps I should have 3 bet? Oh well. It's just as well I finished 15BB up on the other table :/

Nope, 67 offsuit. Called two bets on the flop and one on the river with a naked gutshot and no redraws to the flushes. Here is the full hand:

Yup, a 3-bet PF would probably forced him out. It's a tough trade off between creating a huge pot as played with the chance that someone with suck out vs a smaller pot that you are more likely to take down cleanly.
