Default Re: 3/6 How is this line?

I have been noticing lately that players with very tight stats have been raising, 3-betting, and capping me with just a gut shot, or sometimes completely nothing.

Realize that this sort of play has nothing to do with "tightness." In fact, many break-even/slightly winning low limit players achieve that level by playing both too tight AND too aggressive--they push their few "good" hands way to far, trying to muscle you out of pots in hopeless situations.

In fact, I used to do this a lot as a beginning player. All I had gleaned from the couple of books I had read was to be tight and aggressive, which at the time I thought meant betting AK three times unimproved into five players playing $1-$3.
