Should the 3b be bigger here? Pretty unusual spot but I feel like it should be.

Edit: Then another one a couple of rounds later at the same table.

12-14 is fine IMO.

its fine but if youre at a table full of stations keep raising the pfr size to see what they call and get value lol

Yeah, just making sure they weren't too small as a standard.

h2 bit bigger flop and ship turn
you're targeting his AQ/AJs and QQ/JJ, not going to get 3 streets out of worse anyway and you don't want to airball 3 streets either

I make it 15bb in both, wp

Makes sense, thanks.
