I've noticed a pro player recently making big preflop 3bets from the blinds when multiple players either limp or call an opening raise. An example was a 2/5 game where the UTG+2 opened for $15, got three callers, and the pro 3bet to $115 from the BB whereupon everyone folded. He pulled a similar move four times in the space of two hours and won it preflop each time. My question is, is he likely to be profitable in the long run with his large bet sizing, or should he be making it smaller, say to around $75 in the above case? The players in this game were fairly weak/passive btw, also doing a lot of 'fit or folding' on the flop.
A pro player in a game where people are limping?? What they're doing is probably a strategem. People starting 3 betting premium hands in the linds since they're out of position. If others knowing that makes them think you have a good hand in the button, then maybe you can get them fold. If they don't, you have a **** hand in the worst position in an inflated flop.
