If you’ve been active and he is a LAG his 3 betting range in position can be very wide. I also think his C bet % will be close to 100 if you check to him on the flop and SPR is only about 1.25. Sticking $350 in preflop from early position will allow him to correctly fold too many hands IMO.
It’s more complicated than this though. There’s tons of flops that will slow V down with a ton of his holdings. There’s also a ton of flops that V will cbet/fold or check down after his cbet. We also might, you know, lose the hand.
If this guy is a 2/5 caliber player he’d be a pretty bad one if he’s 5x 3!’ing an UTG+1 open and then folding. If he wants to give us the $125 instead of calling the $250 on top we win with 0% risk. It’s fine either way.
But imo as long as all the money gets in ASAP, it’s fine however it happens. I just think there’s more benefits to forcing V to make his decision before he sees a flop rather than after in this specific spot. He probably has 10’s-KK.
