Somewhat agree since I'm a pretty NIT TAG in general especially preflop vs unknown.
Varies on stakes and cardroom but brief 6 hour session of 20/40 I played like 10 years ago at Commerce with the great Bakku, he 3 bet quite light like A5o or A6o in a similar spot.
He may have had reads since he frequented the California rooms or may have known opponents tendencies per his discussion with CDC who he was on trip with at that time.
OT:
Those were days I used to play 16 hour live sessions as a business trip when I used to play live in lieu of online. Great days lol although I would never want to play those mega long hour sessions again since its been proven to be -EV on large sample of me personally and via case study from former NL 6.table online crusher via like MIT article.
