Yes, but this isn't "exploiting" us. If we were to raise they would still play 3-bet those hands and the net result is the same only now we are putting in th 3-bet.

And then when they put in the fourth bet and we have to fold we lose all of our equity and the money (10% of our stack) that we have invested into the pot.

Or worse yet, when they call (to trap) and stack off with the best hand on the flop.

Either way, they are getting the best of us.

Haha... if we l/rr KK and they have AA then yes they will get the best of us. Most of our l/rr's will be hands like AQ+/KK+. This means that most of the time that we do this they WILL NOT have a better hand. If they do have a better hand, they are going to have a +EV play - sure. However, that is not an attack towards the l/rr - that's poker! It happens!

I think argument you are trying to make here is not consistent with the point you are trying to make. Of course part of their reraising hands are big hands! You play against their range and if their range is making a mistake here then you are doing well.
If we have KK and they have AA... they sure will tend to get the best of us.

I think you are getting hung up on the being too exploitable thing. Most of the time that you pull this you are going to have a big hand. If they happen to start trying to screw around with you then you adjust. It is that simple. It is not a be all, end all thing.

It sounds like you think that all opponents will instantly know what you have because you l/rr. Ok, but if they put in greater than or equal to 10% of their stack preflop they aren't going to be able to have enough wiggle room to do much with it anyways. On top of that, they shouldn't know your range EXACTLY.
