Fold to this size, flat 3x vs this stat

Guys, 71 hands only, forget the stats, he may very well end up being 22/19. So against open from HJ as a default you fold AJo, even on BU, right? What about BB, do you call this?

Never calling, can't be +ev when BB can see a flop with most cards and its just a crappy spot 3 way first to act with these rags. Not folding either though

Are you saying 3b against this guy?

Fold unless we know this is a profitable play. If we know we can out manoeuvre villain post-flop then fine. But villain is tighter which can leave us dominated and in tough spots.

It's a good sample size over 71 hands, the stats are unlikely to deviate from the real value too much. Villain is as likely to be a 22/19 as a 8/6 mega nit. And since villain hasn't 3B yet, we should use this as evidence too of a tighter player.

I'd tend not to flat because either you're oop vs one or two players, including a tight looking MP, or you've got a fair chance of being squeezed by BB.

That said, I'd have AJ as a 'standard' three bet bluff from SB, but not sure I'd use it here. Don't think it would be terrible though. Depends whether his sizing is standard or not, stats etc etc.

Yeah why not, we want to bluff some hands. Bluffing with this could be overkill but should be +ev. Vs these guys they're not playing back so we should just go full exploit imo.

3b to .24 or fold. If you haven't 3b yet in the session, this is a great spot to do it imo.

That's true but against a 15/12 we're gonna be dominated a ton, and they also hate folding over pairs on low boards. Feel like something like A3s or J9s might be better imo

Against a player with this stats and from MP I prefer fold. Maybe call with AJs.

Easy fold pre. Folding as default against early position, here is higher size and tighter player too.
