Okay, so lots of folds, which was definitely one of my options. I dont hate calling either because the rec had around 400 and was definitely calling if I flatted. I also like the idea of 3! pocket pairs, ace blockers, and cards with high value.
So I chose to 3! cause I wanted to be aggressive this time vs a wider opening range. I felt like I would net some folds, but more calls considering this player type. Keep in mind it was the first time I 3! him though.
OTTH:
Rec limps utg, V (750) r25 in CO, folds to hero in the BB. Hero (covers) has 78
in the BB. Hero rr80, rec folds, V calls.
