Playing only standard opening ranges tonight. No 43 suited unless I'm in the cutoff or later or my BAC eclipses .1. But if you're all right about the way these guys play, I'll come back soon and play like a maniac. Excited to see what these games look like!
I played 2 hours at flamingo and only saw 4 3bets. 2 went to showdown: a guy 3bet my $8 Utg+2 open to $18 from the LJ with JJ (this is terrible, both the decision to 3bet and the sizing), and a guy in the SB 3bet a $10 LJ open and HJ call to $27 with AA (I guess when you only 3bet the nuts, sizing small makes more sense?).
I'll take the L on my previous analysis, I still don't know if folding AKo is correct but it's not as ridiculous as I initially thought.
Anyway sorry for the thread hijack. I hope at least some people were interested in the more general discussion of playing against nutted 3bet ranges. I'm gonna take a shot at playing 1/2 and 1/3 like a maniac preflop, maybe I'll make a thread about this if anyone is interested.
