Strange hand of the day (to me anyway)

3x UTG then UTG +1 flats then in late pos a small 3 bet that gets flatted right behind him folds all the way back to the original flatter. Just seems spewy all the way around to me. This is a higher buy in than I would have figured to see such. Maybe I need a drink or something.

Wow..what would have been on that one! I gotta agree the play there is a little odd. I would have expected the UTG raiser to come along in the hand (unless it was a pure steal attempt, although the blinds are really too low for that to be happening with great frequency). The UTG+1 line seems odd preflop with a middle PP given the action and considering he isn't that deep (30bb). The other two confuse me a bit, I am not sure 3betting KQo is ever a good idea this early especially when there is a UTG raise and an insta-flat. The AQs I can see playing like this if I was deep stacked and I would get away from it on the flop if it didn't hit me really hard(>60bb at this point), but with 18bb, I am either jamming or folding and given all of the action in front I am going to fold in this case (if the UTG pair weren't there I would jam). Once the flop hits I can't see jamming MP/TK with a overcard likely to connect with someone out there given the action. I would probably check to see if I could get some information out of the other two on where I stand. As for the guy with 2-pair, I don't think I would open jam this flop, but I would certainly bet strong and build the pot. I am not sure if I am sophisticated enough yet to lay it down if doubled619 jams on me, but I'd like to think that I would.
