It does not happen each time. The 3-betting frequency in SB v BTN is the highest you'll find, but even the most aggressive players only 3-bet about 15-17% of the time in that situation.
Maybe in the very short run it will happen for 3 or 4 orbits running, but those of us using HUDs can see that most regs have an overall 3-bet frequency of less than 10%.
If someone was 3-betting 100% of the time in SB v BTN, you'd roughly breakeven by 4-betting a quarter of the time. But you'd also make money by calling with anything suited, because villain's range is ATC, so he'll miss so many flops. My own frequency of 4-betting in that BTNvSB spot is about 15%, and that prints money even against the 7% 3-bettors.
