Both MP2 and UTG have been playing rather LAGgy, that's why I three-bet pre-flop.

FRLH

Preflop: Hero is Button with Ace of Hearts, Jack of Hearts.
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP2 raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) Jack of Clubs, Jack of Diamonds, 6 of Clubs (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, BB raises, UTG 3-bets, MP2 calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

Turn: (12.25 BB) 8 of Hearts (4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, MP2 calls, Hero raises, BB folds, UTG 3-bets, MP2 calls, Hero caps, UTG calls, MP2 calls.

River: (24.25 BB) 10 of Hearts (3 players)
UTG bets, MP2 folds, Hero raises, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 28.25 BB

Would you have slowed down anywhere here?

I think I still prefer a call preflop and let position do my work for me, but I don't hate the 3-bet at all. Otherwise looks fine.

On that flop, given your holding, two determined opponents and one calling station = two flush draws and one overpair in my book. (Possibly the other way round).

Hence, firing at will on the board as played out looks sound.

Caveat: raising the river after capping the turn and still being led into is possibly a little frisky, but up to there it looks OK to me. Would you have capped the river if 3-bet? Because that would probably be a step too far.

I probably would have just called at that point.

And MP2's range for raising pre-flop makes this a good 3-bet with position, although in chat after the hand he said he folded QQ. Not sure I believe him.

Well played hand Bull, Against LAGs you can't slow down on this board. I LOVE the 3-bet pre-flop vs a LAG
