You guys need to lay off the pipe. 3-betting the flop is way better.

WHY?

Hero is preflop aggressor, and he ends up HU on the flop. If he 3-bets here, usually villain either folds the turn, or calls turn and folds river. Hero loses 0.5-1.5 BBs.

- Flop 3-bet gets less credit that a turn c/r. The chance of him folding to the turn c/r compared to calling the flop 3 and folding turn is way less.

- he checks behind with non-zero probability. Even tho it might not happen often it will cost a [censored] of bets

- He will sometimes raise the turn with a worse hands allowing hero to get the 2 bets in on the turn and 3 bets in on the flop.

There are prolly a lot more arguments for the fast play. Those were just the ones I could come up with.
