Let's compare ranges. V1 is described as more passive than aggro according to what I read. He 'can' bluff, but has also been calling down postflop with SDvalue hands. My initial reaction is that 3betting flop here doesn't elicit a shove over by worse, it gets called by better.
If he's loose/passive pre, his range could be anything close to: 22+,A2s+,K6s+,Q7s+,J7s+,T7s+,96s+,86s+,75s+,64s+,5 3s+,43s,32s,A8o+,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T8o+,98o. Maybe tighter, but who knows.
Our flop bet elicits a raise here. What would feasibly raise us? Remember, he's not that bluffy, but can, according to the read. I can see a range of: QQ+,99,66,44,A9s,T7s,98s,96s,87s,75s,64s,53s+,43s, T8o.
If we 3bet over that, what part of that calls/shoves? Likely almost all of it does one or the other and very little folds... I took out T8 and 98s.
How do we look vs this range? We are flipping with no FE.
Board: 9c 6s 4d
Dead:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.836% 49.86% 00.98% 25172 495.00 { KcKs }
Hand 1: 49.164% 48.18% 00.98% 24328 495.00 { QQ+, 99, 66, 44, A9s, T7s, 96s, 87s, 75s, 64s, 53s+, 43s }
This is why I don't like it. I don't think we have as much an edge if we just wait for a turn card and let him keep putting money in behind....if we think he can bet his draws. If he can't bet his draws (he's largely passive), it can be argued the raise on the flop is a fold. 3betting is my least favorite option because the portion of his range that raises never folds to a 3bet with the pot getting this big.
