Why Just Call?
 
Button stealer is a 61/24/1.0 bluffmonkey.
SB is a 20/15/3.0 aggroTAG.

FWIW, I planned on folding a non A, J, or Heart turn.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: (9 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (6 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, Button folds.

River: (8 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10 BB

I would have probably capped preflop. Thhe tag knows that the button is a huge donk so he could be 3betting lighter than usual. AJs is a pretty good hand 3handed.

The postflop play looks nice. If you think the sb could very well have 88/TT/AT/A8s (and worse) and wont fold to your raise, you could throw a turn raise in, but if you dont know him that well then a call is zing.

Hey Our House,

I think there's a good case for capping preflop. Bluffmonkey is raising a really wide range here, and the TAG should be 3betting him lighter-than-usual.

Postflop I play the same.

Just out of curiousity, what do you do on the turn if bluffmonkey raises and TAG:
1) folds?
2) calls?

I am calling down in both the cases, is that bad?

I'n honestly not sure. I'm certainly showing down in both cases, but I was wondering if we can find a value 3-bet in there if we get Hu against the donk.

1) Happily call.
2) Reluctantly call.
