Playing a $30 buy-in online. Just transferred to a new table with the blinds at 175/350. My stack at 9,550 or 27 BBs. Cutoff stack at 16,480, or 47 BBs. I have seen him fold two hands preflop, and that is all the info I have on him.

3rd hand in, I get AJo in Hijack -1. Open raise to 778. Hijack folds. Cutoff 3-bets to 1,950. Button, SB & BB fold.

Action to me. Call, Raise, Rip, or Fold? And why?

Thanks in advance for your input

Standard rip range can be ~AT+ KQ+ 77+, usually not gonna have a balanced flat range and just flat some T9s-KJs. Can adjust with reads.

Cool. Thank you for the input, tboneparte

I would call, contently. Gotta fight for pots!

Pretty standard question, but actually a pretty interesting one!
Two responses from good long-time forum posters and already two different ones.
I think I'm not good enough to call and expect good value out of position, so for me it's a shove vs fold proposition. (yes I know I should improve my game to be able to call profitably, I'm trying and I do call sometimes to get a better feel for it outside ouf theory, but if this spot and tournament is important, I'm going to go back to the shove vs fold)

Deciding whether shoving is an EV+ proposition depends on the 3-bet/fold and 3-bet/call ranges you assign to villain. The math is easily solved by software, ranging villain is the hard part. Here we are against an unknown villain. (so assuming standard). My range expectations in a vacuum with these positions would entice me to make a nit fold. It is totally exploitable, because a good player will know that his leverage with his 3-bet is great and that he will get a lot of players like me to fold much too strong holdings. But hey, good players win more money for a reason...

So if you're good enough post with low SPRs and out of position, I think the best thing to do against an unknown here is to call. You have a good hand, play with it...
