I think it's better to 3-bet him here w/ A3s-ish, and 76s-ish to mix it up. I've watched cts play some at CR and there he said a very clever thing, its better to 3bet the hands that play not so good post flop, like A3 and 76s(that doesnt hit a good flop that often) than a hand that plays better on the flop, for eg QJs.

yeah i agree with the 3betting trash is sometimes better than 3betting with hands that if called your could be dominated, like JQs vs his AQ/QK etc. but at same time my initial decision of whether to 3bet will depend more on whether ive 3bet in the last few hands or not. if i have, then i won't 3bet anything other than decent hands, if i haven't, and the raise is not a nit nor a very good tag then ill happily 3bet with whatever cards i have. also means in the first ten hands or so if i do this then, get called pf, cbet flop and the guy folds, when i then flip over 95off it helps my image (although more recently ive been preferring not to show these and only show 3barrels).

so to sum up that, for me although my hole cards will be a factor as to whether i fold/call/3bet, whether ive done so in the last 10 or so hands, and who the opponent is will be the main factors.

Maybe I forgot to mention that we had no real history. So whats ur play without hist?

will depend a bit if there is a fish i recognise on the table, as then i want to lag up my image as much as possible, look like the crazy guy. if no fish, then ill just base this on his stats, AF of 4.5 im shoving this no doubt, if he has AF of less than 2 then it becomes tougher decision imo.
