2/3 NL
Simple short preflop question
Villain is a LAG who has been raising and limping a lot preflop and is fairly sticky post. Has been running hot and winning lots of pots without showdown. 10-15 min earlier Hero 3bet him OTB w AKo, he called, flatted the T64r or T84r flop (can’t remember) then folded to my pot sized Qss turn shove and showed a 4. Generally an action player but not a maniac (yet - he definitely got OOL later before moving to the 5/5 game with his big stack).
Effective stack 340, V covers H
V opens 15 HJ. H 3bets KQo OTB to 40. Folds to V who 4bets to 140ish. H folds.
Am I right to 3bet this for value here? It’s an easy fold vs a 4bet, I block a lot of Vs calling/4bet range and can bloat the pot IP vs. a presumably weak range. Against a TAG I assume I’d want to flat more often bc 3betting has a lower EV against a tighter range. I also think I would rather size up to 50 here but my sizing had been consistent albeit on the lower side for this session.
