His post-flop tendencies? He was basically a station post-flop who occasionally turned his hands into bluffs or made illogical blocking bets. That was why it felt better to bet than to check. I guessed he'd come along quietly with middle pair, an underpair, and any club. I was totally confused, though, about how to balance my stack-to-pot ratio with betting for value/protection and not giving him awesome odds with all of his club hands.
What about this for a better thin value line: I cbet 225 on flop; if called, turn pot size is 750, and the remaining effective stack is 725. On a blank turn, I just stick the rest of my stack in.
Gah, 99 seems tough to 3-bet 35bbs deep. So many less than awesome boards come down post-flop and you basically have to soul-read villain OOP to minimize all the errors that can ensue:
1) bet/folding incorrectly, which is highly likely w/o laser reads cause we're so shallow that it sucks to put more chips in then fold
2) value-owning ourselves by getting it in on K high, Q high, J high type boards vs the wrong kind of villain
3) checking down ugly boards and giving villains the free cards they need

Please 3-bet more pre, i always make it 200 over a 60 open.
Really, that much? Seems to make things even more awkward post if we're not > 50 bbs deep. Do you rarely 3-bet light, or do you do so that big relative to the open raise? And at what stack depth do you stop making it 200 over a 60 open and just 3-bet shove instead?
I'm seriously beginning to think I should size my 3-bets relative not only to the open-raise, but to the effective stack depth, if I'm not 3-bet shoving. Like possibly I should have made it 135 here pre-flop. That way I gain a little more freedom post.
Tell me how I'm wrong.
