Okay,

I just kind of skimmed through this after posting my answers. There seems to be a fair amount of disagreement on number 4. I am a firm believer that Raise>Fold>Call here. I saw someone say "easy 5/10 rule." First of all, you should read dbitel's recent post on implied odds necessary for set value. Most importantly, though, your opponents raising range is the first thing you need to consider before you even think about applying a 5/10, 3/7 rule, etc.

Pokey, I definitely understand your concern with position. Position is king in NL, but I think you are making some incorrect assumptions here. With villain number two, there should be a very large disconnect between villains raising range, and his 3-bet calling range. In general, we are not building a pot oop, we are winning a pot without having to play a speculative hand oop.

Another assumption you made is that we will cbet 100% of the time. I really don't want to start this conversation up again, but when I 3-bet with marginal holdings and get called by a smart player, I am not c-betting very often, TBH. That aspect of post-flop play dramatically effects my pre-flop play compared to a player that cbets ~100% of the time.

Anyways, very good thread.

Exactly. Against many opponents with this PFR profile, you will make money reraising here almost automatically. Even if you check-fold all flops that don't contain 3s or aren't 3 really low cards, you should be in good shape as long as he folds enough preflop.
