I'm not sure about my line here. CO is a big fish playing 64/4 (30 hands, not many but enough to say he's a fish) so BTN's range (who is a reg playinh 22/19, Ft3b=75% over 150+ hands) is really wide (pretty much this, 22+,A2s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,A2o+,KTo+,QTo+). I don't play that well vs his range especially OOP (slightly more than 50%) so I thought 3betting (to fold if 4bet) was a good option. What do you think?

BB: $5.00
UTG: $1.45
CO: $6.27
BTN: $4.69
Hero (SB): $5.00

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is SB with 7

1 fold, CO calls $0.05, BTN raises to $0.25, Hero raises to $1, 3 folds

depends how he views you. if you 3b here a lot then there is no way I am folding to a 4b. you can flat 3bc fold w/e

Do you think shoving when he 4bets is ok without reads on his 4bet range? I think this is spew... Anyway, I play 17/15, 3b=4.6% so I'm pretty nit in 3bet pots (nevertheless I'm trying to widen up a bit, but my stats haven't changed so much).

Flatting 77 OOP isn't that great imho that's why I 3bet

I can understand turning 77 into a bluff here because his Btn open is 5x. I think it's probably more profitable to 3b here with him folding to 77%. Otherwise we have to call .23 to win .32 and we really only have like 33ish percent equity preflop vs his Btn range and he has position on us.

You want to play 77 3 way with the fish. Flat.
I'd prefer this with A9o or something like that which has no playability if you just call, but has some value in a 3bet pot.

Sorry I didn't realize there was a limper too. That changes it a bit.
