Villain is 35/11/5.8/91 hands. 3bet of 6/ fold to steal in the BB 75%

Is this never a chunk on the bubble? Are you always calling 3bet and re-accessing the flop?

Your pfr is way to big. Make it 600. Dont ever call his 3bet here. You should shove or fold! In this case here I fold.

Ya I think I was really frustrated at this time. I do have a leak of not beleive people when they 3-bet my btn raise. I need to get over that. Why the smaller pfr? I felt I wanted to keep the blinds from calling with overs?

If they call 600 with overs they will also call 840 so save the 240 chips. When blinds get high you can normally open raise 2.5x.

Cool, How big of pair would you want here to ship over his 3-bet? JJ?

When blinds are 30/60 I start to raise 2.5x (150).

Prob even as much as QQ+. Look at the stacksizes, they are pretty even. So you need to call tight here.

Generally I agree with mckrogh but I also want to state that :
just pushing is +EV

I'd probably rather raise/fold here. You get called a little bit wider than that on the whole.

I'd rather r/f here as well... And raise smaller

If villain is calling our shoves tight, then he's probably calling our raises tight as well. This gives us room to fold when he raises on us.

If villain is calling our shoves loose then we don't want to shove on him with 99 for fear that he'll call us with overs. Its not a place I want to leave up to chance (even when we are ahead 70/30ish). We just have too much equity in this game to take those odds imo. Its better to raise vs a loose villain as well because its likely hugely +EV when he calls us. We'll have to let it go if he raises (depending on the size of his raise obv, but generally speaking well have to let it go), but this is better than risking all of our chips when he calls us with KJ or some ****)

Cool thanks for all that. Very helpful.
