I'm sure this is a simple spot, I feel like I ought to know what to do here and, in fact, I used to
I used to simply cbet the flop because, well, I was PFR and prob had the best hand so.. CBET EVERYTING
then I learned some stuff and "REALLY knew what to do". I would say to myself "will he call w worse? Fold better?", and think I would be getting val from so few hands that i would "obviously" treat my hand as a bluff catcher/SDV.
Then I learned a bit more and realized a) there actually is value here vs worse Ax and it's a good thing to fold out villains equity.. So, cbet it, right?
Then I learned even more and realized that I ought to cbet some Ax and check some and I would cbet if I had back door equity planning to fire a lot of turns. If I had no back door stuff I would bluff catch one street unimproved.
Which brings me to, well, now..
Now I do know quite surely that I do not know what to do w big Ax on ragged flop, OPP in a 3 bet pot, with no back door equity against an unknown villain.
Just found the place where my "sidewalk ends". This must be the outer limit of what I can confidently say I understand.
Vs total unknown , small stakes HU...
AJ on raggedy rainbow flop, 3 bet pot, OOP, as PFR (100 bb to start the hand)..
Is there a consensus here or not?
