Defending against frequent 3-betting?
 

Thoughts on how to play against an opponent who is frequently reraising behind you preflop? Full Game (8-10 opponents). Opponent's 3-bet range includes any pocket pair, ak-a10, kq-kj.

Start capping more than usual?
Tighten up overall?
Other?

how frequently can he be 3betting you with that range? He is isolating. Cap with the top of that range if you want. I like to donk flops against these players because I am one of these players and want to kill people who donk flops against me.

Yeah, it's definitely for isolation. Just wondering what people like to do to adjust to this type of player.

I tend to tighten up a little and cap more, even occasionally with a kq or low pair type hand in hopes of showing it down.

Never feel like I defendd against this that well though, thus the question.

just play tight and pwn them. also i would almost never cap HU oop against this guy. cr them and if they get out of line and 3 bet just cap then they will peal and peal again then be fuked. but it sux when they got a hand, they let u know on the turn unless they got the skillz and river raise u. poker sux GG

I hate these players too.
6h is is even more bugging.
It is like they use a regular raising range and don't care about my raise.

If he is capable of folding donk flops alot.
It should be 7 sb in the pot so if he folds at all just donk him to death. Donk your good hands too so he don't know what to do.

The players I really dislike are those who also take plenty shots postflop and overplays hands at times or bluff alot.

It is costly to call the down all the time and since they don't overdo it they will rape you. Stay away from them.
The only way to beat them is to note their range and stove it and call down when you have equity and a medioker made hand.

Those players very rarely respect caps as they too cap liberally. Players with 5% pfr respect raises alot cause they raise few hands. The opposite is true about those who overdo it.

Some thoughts about this topic.
