Low limit home game question

    Firstly given the last couple of posts the amount seems pointless but poker is poker.

    Right, just played this hand today and feel I messed it up. Was wondering what people feel the best strategy would have been.

    Home game with friends. 6 handed, typical home game agressive and looseish play. Main point is that the players know each others games quite well.

    Don't have it exactly but have the parts that count.
    Blinds are .25/.50

    Dealer
    Hero(€62)
    BB
    Villian(€70)
    MP1
    MP2

    Dealt two black threes.

    MP2 raises to €3
    Hero calls
    Villian calls
    Pot €9.50

    Flop AhQh3h

    Whats your move here and why?

    Hero leads for €9
    Vilian calls €9 and raises €10
    MP2 folds.
    Hero:confused:

    Have to add here that the moment I lead out for €9 I realised that it was very obviously a defensive raise. Villian is tricky, knows me and could very possibly put me on any decent ace. For this reason I feel his range goes from AJ or an ace with a decent heart all the way to a made flush. I'd say 50% of the time he has me beaten, if so I do still have outs.

    Hero calls €10.

    Pot is €47.50

    Turn is 8c

    Would anyone lead out on this turn?

    I did for €10 and he raised €15.

    My leadout here was basically to get rid of him trying to knock me off a weaker hand. I felt it was worth €10 to find out there and then.

    We're now about 80%-90% he has the flush.

    Is €15 into a pot of €82.50 enough odds to play in the hope of the board pairing on the river? Is that somewhere around 20%?

    All comments welcome.

    Push all in on the flop. If he has a flush you have outs.

    As played you have to call the turn bet and play it from there. Maybe going broke on a non h river, fingers crossed it pairs the board.

    If playing against aggressive people I might check the flop and reraise big or All in. You'll be called by a wide enough range of hands to make it work. A made flush is the only hand I can see beating you and you have outs to that.

    Of course, if you put him on the flush, I suppose you need to lay it down if the river is no help. What is his skill like? His reraises don't scream pro.
