    3bettor in this hand is a relative unknown, I only have about a dozen hands on him and he's something like 15/7 at the time with no previous 3bets.

    What is your line here and why?

    Fold here due to being readless and effectively no stats. Most of the time you are flipping at best.

    Snapfold. You are deep stacked, no need to call with either 50/50 or huge underdog hand.
    If your stack were 500-ish, it's snap call.

    Easy fold. You are very often beat here by a 3bet and no need to risk more than half your stack on a flip when you can wait for a better spot.
    Best line pre is b/f.

    Yeah I guess I agree with everyone. I understand why you posted it though because it is close imo.

    I don't want to make it seem like I'm arguing for a call (because I'm not) but him shoving instead of 3b/calling IP with a 20bb stack pre-ante has to put at least a little bit of weight towards small PPs and AK. We can usually cut out the top of his range because he didn't 3b/c, so there goes at least 3 of the only 7 hands that beat us. Plus it's a 1.50 BI so there's the spew factor.

    I see what you mean, but not necessarily agree with range assumptions.
