@OP

Preflop is close. And you should listen to ILP and others here.

Its close for me with 66-88 here. I will always 3-bet 99+ and almost always call 55-. 66-88 depends. Your eq is closer to 50% so you have less eq edge to push.

So you need to consider how your preflop play affect dynamics.

Say you have ATo or A5o. Its kind of the same spot. You have a slight eq edge but your preflop play will dictate how postflop plays.

Ok, so say you 3-bet ATo vs an NON SD bound TAG. Whenever Axx flops he is folding quite are large part of his range. If the flop is AT8 with a fd he is prolly folding 55 and calling KQ with the intention of folding the turn UI. Now say you just called preflop and c/r the AT8 flop. This line is by most recognized by a weaker line than 3-balling PF. So it is much more likely that he will SD his 55 on safe turns+rivers and/or play back with KQ putting you on a weakish made hand or a draw. In other words you get more action by just calling vs the non SD bound TAG.


Now say that you 3-ball ATo vs a SD bound LAG. Now its much different. Your 3-bet isnt making him fold that much postflop since he is more SD bound. In other words 3-balling preflop wont kill your action that much on Axx flops.




Ok back to 66-88 hands. Here it is the exact opposite of Ax hands as you would be just fine with people folding more on AT8 flops. This means that you should be more inclined to 3-bet 66-88 vs non SD bound players and call it vs SD bound players. So in this hand PF is a call IMO.


Taking it a bit further; Kx hands. With these hands you'd like to rep a good A. So that you can get folds on those Axx flops. So like the 66-88 hands you should 3-bet Kx against non SD bound players and just call vs SD bound players. (KQ and KJs is a 3-bet for me regardless I am talking about KTo K7s and such.)


Ok I am rambling. I hope I am making sense and that you can use this. GL with 6max!
