The problem with the hand is that you practically committed yourself with that turn bet. With all the money out there, I probably shove and close my eyes. You're ahead of a lot of draws, and only really crushed if he has AA, KK, QQ, A3, or 33.

This is definately dependant on your read.Without any read, I am pushing all-in without hesitation (top two three-handed is difficult to get away from without some read otherwise).You read the dealer as being aggressive, but will he call the pre-flop bet with a three? A3 or 34 prehaps? It almost doesn't matter anyway, because since he's aggressive, he could be making this move for several reasons:1) He has a hand like A :club: T :D or A :D J :D and semi-bluff raising his straight and flush draw.2) He has a 33) The paired flop, coupled with an overcard on the turn (to the Q-high flop) gives enough "scare cards" out here for him to represent. After all, if you liked the Q on the flop, then chances are, you didn't like the K on the turn. If you continuation bet the flop, do you follow up on the turn when you think your opponents may fold? If so, then he may have picked up on this and decided you just wanted to take down the pot uncontested.So, he could have any hand (if he plays aggressive and just plays his opponents fears). That board pairing on the flop and bringing an over-card on the trun presented two reasons for him to represent.Bottom Line: Against this oppoonent, I push. Don't let the result of the hand make you second-guess your choice: just because he turned over a three doesn't make your all-in -EV. I think you win money in the long run here.

Live, SH and the dealer has been aggro.... all adds up to a draw. smells like KJc I think you have to go with your read.
I think you're even being generous with that. Since you put out that ***** "feeler" bet against an aggro opponent whose range you are WAY ahead of, you put yourself in position to let villian think he cann take this pot away from you because you basically just raised your hand and said you had a marginal hand you don't wanna put a lot of money in with. Way ahead of his range. Push just in case he has a draw. And live w/ it if he actually woke up with a hand this time.
