Imo fold>3-bet>>>>>>>>>flat
JTs is one of the best 3-bet bluffs pre you can have
This post is all wrong dude
So first. 3b mp vs utg1 range should be really tight @ 40bb effective as a default strategy vs players who are positionally aware w their opens. vs a random playing a standardish strategy
you should obv start with aa,kk,qq for value. jj is close and should probably flat some 3b some. then you can have ak all combos and thats basically all you need -- aqs could be a decent combo but id flat here w a hand like this a decent amount and mix in some 3bs vs some looser strategies. Now you can add some 3b bluffs, j10s is a bad choice for a few reasons.
3b bluffing hands for this spot should probaly be like a medium percentage of a2-a5s and throw in kqo type hands. these hands do a good job blocking the hands we dont want utg to be having and will also do well if we get called.
(think about the hands you want utg to be raise/folding from utg, kj,aj,a10,k10 etc, and also the hands we dont block aa,kk,qq, ak)
Now you need some hands to vpip that arent exclusively 66-tt so you dont get owned on hi card boards. so flatting some strong broadways and some good sc will be good imo. hands like 98s and j10s at the bottom and aqo, kqs type hands. vs some tighter opponents or on aggro tables i could get behind folding bottom hands of this range like 98s/j10s, and the open is a little big for 2.5x, for a min raise itd be a much better call. But think calling 2.5x here j10s is prolly gonna be fine and slightly better than folding bc of the antes and bc your not telling me theres a table full of pros who are gonna be putting you in tough spots
Now if the opener is just some random fun player whos going to fold everything and the rest of the tables v passive they sure vamoo and 3b but this would be a exploitative adjustment to a high f23b% and a loosish utg open % if you have your mental Pokertracker running
