Sup guys,

got another question regarding blind play. Hero si BB.

BBvBTN open with hands like:
QT67ss KJT4ds

Considering BTN is either a rec or a reg but oppening wide 50-70% I presume we want to 3b?

We lower SPR from cca 16 to 5(SRP/3bp) and take away positional disadvantage and put more money into the pot with hands that do well vs btns wide oppening range.

Same goes for hands like JJT9 or TTQJ I presume since high card value and raw equity advantage makes up for the lack of smoothness, do you agree?

Now my main question is what to do with hands like AKT6(suited to the ace) or A765(suited to the ace) or K765(suited to the king) or AQQ6(suited to the ace)?

My guess would be to call since they are just a bit too polarized and still easy to play postflop in SRP.

I'm not to keen on playing too loose on the BB. Heads up, oop and just some draw potential, like A765 ds or JJT3 triple suit. vs a button raise so I'm not going to 3 bet (never say never) and I will consider folds on stupid hand like 9high 3 card run downs and a suited dangler. The pots thin and value will get sucked up by the rake. Dead money means different decisions but heads up for very thin margins and your just wasting energy.

I dont think you should ever 3b K567. QT67 is a little suspect. The rest you can do what you want. It's just a matter of image or toughness. You're forcing him to hit instead of vice versa, but when he does you'll have spent a lot of money finding out.

Depends if the opponent respects your raises...

Thanks guys.

Good point. Could you expand on it?

What if villain is a fish whos 3b call is close to 100%? ->I'd assume 3b for value only w/ hands like JJT9 and just call other wekish hands QT67 KTJ2ss.
What if villain is a reg who kind of respects 3b but also oppens wide and folds weak hands to 3b(8897 or 9876rainbow etc.)?

AQ98ss KTJ2ds AKT6ss This kind of hands are troubling me. 3b or flat?

If you expect the opponent to mostly call preflop 3-bets and you hold a marginal hand OOP your best bet is to typically ____ _____ ______ .

If you expect the opponent to mostly call preflop 3-bets and you hold a strong flopping hand OOP your best bet is to typically ____ _____ ______ .



You fill in the blanks.

no just call

I think it def depends on your image, but if your opponent will continue more often vs 3bets, then you will want to have a linear range of hands such as broadway and/or good middle rundowns like A-K-T-7s, Q-Q-J-9, and T-9-8-7 that can often dominate his continuing range, but if he's opening wide and folding to your 3 bets a lot, then you can polarize your range to take advantage of that. Hands that can work well too are high double suits like As-Kc-8s-6c due to the fact that many opponents OTB open a lot of double suited crap and just don't fold to 3 bets.
