  2. Not raising usually limits how much value you can get out of a hand.

    Personally, the only street I play differently is the turn...if you think you were good enough to call the 3-bet on the flop, you've got to raise the turn (IMO).
     
  3. Don't raise the turn.

    You played it perfectly imo.

    The only thing I might do differently is 3 bet preflop.
