Vs unknown you can assume his range will be strong. He c-bet into 2 players which is strong. The A and J and possibly the 9 are going to hit him well. But most of all, all his 3betting pairs that are afraid of the ace are still all beating you KK, QQ, TT. He seems to be controlling the size the pot, but he probably has you beat. I would fold vs unknown. You probably only win if you shove and get him to fold.

Fold preflop

With the 57/21 too?

Imo yes.

My position is that your hand plays better with deep stacks, which the 3bet and addition of a third player removes.

I assume we don't have reads on the BTN, but if we knew that they were laggy then I'd rather 4bet and try to pick up SB's dead money.

In this formation I think I'm folding preflop, preferring to continue with 54s, 56s instead of the higher SCs. In general, players (in my pool at least) are not 3 betting nearly enough and often are too strong to make these borderline calls profitable. 98s is a special hand that especially does not like calling off 3bets

Flop is fine, you can turn/river best hand. I'm folding river.

For the HUD stats, how many hands do you have on V? I have had myself values that look like that over roughly 50-100 hands and undoubtedly had villains play vs me as if I were a whale, only to calm down into my normal 25/21 range about 100 hands later so I'm careful to use even VPIP until about 500-1k hand samples.

Thanks for the answer! I play in Bodog ( anonymous hands) so I only have the sample of the active session
