If you are flatting against someone who plays a polarized range(as you should) you cant just check fold. You are ready to stack off with marginal hands but you follow.a line that maximizes ev from his bluffs/low end of the polarized range. It also depends on the board and the line he takes and his postflop aggression. But im not folding very often post with such low spr. It just happens that flatting and allowing him to spew is more profitable than rejamming and allowing villain to play perfectly by folding the garbage and calling with jj+AQ+ . Vs villains who 3 bet hands like 77-99, AJ, KQ you sjould just jam pre.
But hand values shift in a 3bet pot. A high w/ Q kicker is often good enough vs a polarized 3bet range.
But even jamming vs a polarized range is still profitable, maybe not as much, but prob less variance and less exploitable and you are less likely to make mistakes. The problems becomes that around bubbles and FTswhere ppl start paying attention you need to balance your rejam range and that takes cajones. E.g. open /jam 9Ts , small pp etc. Because if you only rejam good hands it becomes very profitable to 3 bet a polarized range against you esp if you are opening wide. Vs such villain you can literally 3bet ATC is the situation is good for it and just fold to 4bet.
