whats his 3bet%

cause this looks like a 3bet spot so im assuming he flatted you with aa kk qq

Probably few players are raising this board as a bluff enough (myself included). I think your cbet is way too big, 150 does all the same. There isn't really a better strategy to combat 150 vs 250 sizing, because the reason c/r is so good versus your sizing is it commits your to the pot if you call his cr. Also, you put less money out there making his bluffs worse.

I like your 3bet assuming you are not leveling yourself about his flop c/r. It is not like he can c/r bluff-mine for the T55 flop to bluff you. If he is a laggard then nice hand. The nitty 'good reg' will almost always have something here imo.

+1 on c-bet size being too big. Don't think you ever get a fold out of that 3-bet.

I'm not sure Scott because my HUD changes when I go 3handed. i guess its around 8-11%

Wait, you're okay with 3bet bluff-shove over a c/r from a solid reg at the 50/100 level with even stacks? I'm not sure why OP is even fighting over that pot. It's small enough that when we get raised, we can easily fold.

And personally, I don't like a smaller c-bet, as that pretty much screams weakness. I think it's either a larger c-bet or a check-back for pot control.

As everybody said, the pot is small enough that you can fold and not bluff over his raise. However, I like the play for future meta against villain.

i hate this so much, i for one mass table and stack and dont even see the end result so this has absolutely zero affect on me, "meta gaming" mass tabling regs is almost an excuse to make a mistake and look for a positive i think this term is so over used in stt's

Solid i think the key to this is his 3bet% or if you know him well enough to know he would usually 3bet you here, if he does then i wouldnt be making this play the bet sizing how ever is also extremely important points made here

The best read you can have in this hand is, "Is my opponent capable of making moves?"

If you can't answer yes, you should fold.
