[MID] TPGK OTT in 3BP - Page 2 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

Does it make sense to call it oop though vs a 4x 3bet even if solver says? I dont think it makes sense to call those low pairs bc we arent going to always get paid if we hit the set, population usually isnt 3betting as wide as the solver, and we cant play perfectly oop w the low pair like the solver can. I would think its a money torch to play those hands in this situation.

But yea if we give villain those hands then thats what makes the most sense for his line.

I think it depends on how good you are in 3bet pots. I call everything mixed because 3bet pots are the strongest part of my game but if you aren't that confident in them yet I can see playing a 4bet or fold strategy or just folding all the mixed continues.

Looks like one of those "exploitable" folds.

Well isn't my KQo better than AA/AK here since now K9s isn't possible?

Edit: woops K9ss is still possible

Thats a really good point. Exploit folding those spots can usually save you a lot

Regs also might incorrectly discount sets on xx2 and xx3 boards as well, when in fact you have all 3 combos of both.
