the game is presumably high raked

This should make us fold more often, but there should still be cases where CC and 3bet are correct.
The 3bet case (for me) is when the raiser is very loose, and one or both of the blinds are bad and will call for 1 or 2 bets indiscriminately. In this situation we will have basically even equity, but the 3bet gives us a significant postflop strategic advantage, and adds value to our stronger 3bets. When we win after 3betting, we expect that the pot will generally be large. This should negate the impact of the rake somewhat, right?

good thoughts fluff. i'm not sure i agree about 3betting though. i'm not sure what you mean about strategic advantage; in the 1/2 game we gotta make a hand, which means we flop big, or we ain't winning a darn thing in multiway pots. everyone showsdown, and the use of meta down there--is it really necessary? also by 3 betting we bloat the pot, which may dispel the blinds into joining thus losing some of our implied odds in the process. imo if we want a family pot, best way to do this is to leave it at 2 bets if possible for the blinds to want to jump in. i agree that the game has to be loose and passive for this to happen according to plan.
