A flat gets you over 20 (or, at least close), which will allow you to avoid difficult situations post flop and use your masterful post flop skill.
My plan here is to flop TPTK on a J high board or hit an A with two low cards (non broadway) and, either way, play for a small pot (being slightly more aggressive or sticky with TPTK vs just a hit A). If I miss the flop, I'll bet if checked to to get a fold from a fit-or-fold type. If I flop two pair or better, I'll try to build a pot. The situation will evolve on the turn and river, but that's the initial plan. Thoughts?
I have no idea how you rule out JJ+ or AK from a CO raiser and would like to hear your reasoning.
Although I am also an Ed Miller devotee, I don't believe this is a situation where our actions should be dictated predominantly by SPR, since the read on the opponent (whether accurate or not) is that he is a passive player who likely won't be in a rush to play for stacks. Consequently, I would be much more inclined to 3-bet, since I believe that this affords us the highest EV.
For a more thorough discussion of 3-betting situations, you should check out Miller's latest book,
