How is best to play this? Villain is a standard reg with 7% three bet.
My problem is that I think we have the best hand a good amount of the time, and there are all sorts of pair plus draws, flush draws, AK, AT type hands to get value from. So we can raise for value and protection.
But - does raising narrow his range too much? I think once he three bets this is just so strong that it's badly played by me. But in general do we want to just try and play a medium size pot on safer runouts? Or do we protect ourselves from the bad runouts by raising? (Or maybe raise/folding, more specifically).
