If a 22/16 with a decent (for us) fold to 3 bet stat opens utg and it folds to us on the button would we be better off occasionally 3 betting AJo because it's slightly too weak to call or would it be better to occasionally 3 bet a hand like 89s because it's easier to play postflop if we hit.
this question is stupid... why don't u give actual fold to 3b% 4b% call 3b% if u want a good answer. I'm more inclined to 3b a2s then ajos in most situations cause most people 4b a lot and call 3b not as often utg but really so dependent. If he folds to aggression but calls 3bs a lot i 3b 89s... really just so player dependent.
This is pretty close as both hands are viable as 'breakeven' 3-bets, but for different reasons (blockers for fold equity, playability if called). By default, I usually fold both, but will 3-bet AJo if villain opened for 2.5x or smaller. I generally prefer the smaller SCs and suited wheel aces for 3-betting in position.
