Also, what Aces do you 3bet here vs this villin when he's CO,BTN?

Re: Villain TAGs in position
 

c/c and reevaluate. If a decent card falls I'm usually calling the turn and making a decision on the river.

Generally I'll 3 bet AJ+ when he opens in the CO, and A9+ when he opens OTB, and go a notch or two lower with suited aces, but sometimes I'll just call with above hands, or sometimes I'll go lower. Don't think it matters too much.

Assuming you're in the big blind?

A8u is in the middle of his range as far as I'm concerned. I'd 3bet if I had evidence that he folds a tad too much in heads up battles. Otherwise I call and see a flop.

The flop is a check/fold IMO. Debatable though.

If the stealer is in the CO I would definitely 3 bet with ATu and A8s. A7s and A9 are close for me. It's a steep decline in value past that.

If he's on the button with those numbers I would probably 3bet A5s, A6s, and maybe A4s. I'd also 3bet A8 and maybe A7.

There are lots of variables to consider. One is the raisers image of the players between us. If there are tight players between us he'll have a tendency to widen his range. If he's getting cold-called or played back at by a few of us his range may narrow.

I'd be interested to hear some more opinions here.

definetily call the flop. u have about 45% equity

Re: Villain TAGs in position
 

PF I would 3-b 66+,A8s+KQs,A9o+

sometimes i would just call PF with A9s,A8s,A9o to mix things up a tiny bit

prob at least c/c flop. i like calling a non Q, T, 9 turn too, while folding if a Q, T, or 9 does come. river is probably a fold vs. a tag but call if you've been folding a bit recently in similar spots.
