Oversized 3 Bet call? Oversized 3 Bet call?

Wondering what different ranges looked like in these spots. How often do you call a 6x 3bet? In this situation I had an easy call (little bit deep, high PP). Is this always AA or KK in the microstakes? What is the bottom of your range here? Do you 4bet KK or is it too likely the large 3bet is aces trying to get stacks in? Hand that got me thinking is below, thanks in advance!

the player is pretty tight but it is a squeeze, albeit being vs mp/co.

I'd say like 4-5% since his overall 3b range is 5, which honestly probably doesn't change much based on positions.

I think you should 4bet here. Once you call, CO has a great price and will be IP. Price him out.

This flop is all over the CO's perceived range. Interesting that the 3bettor cbed. After CO folds, just check down, as you did, when the 1-liner hits turn and bdf hits river.

This isn't even really oversized. He should pretend you made it 3x instead of 2.5x when sizing his 3bets. 3x times 4 = 12bb + 3bb for the caller = 15bb. Perfectly standard for the situation. If anything he should have went a bb or two larger to compensate for the deeper stack sizes. If people are going smaller than this in squeeze situations then they are making a mistake.

This guy is a nit so his range will be tight but in general I'd do this with ~12% 3bet range from the sb.
