Default Re: thoughts on 3betting when you have 30-50bbs

The reraise is bad here. You are putting in almost 25% of your stack. You assume that you fold to a push, but it is actually a close decision whether or not to call, which is a good reason not to reraise.

Also, the reraise puts you in a worse if villain flat calls. He may have an advantage now acting first, rather than you with position. Also, you usually have no idea whether 33 is ahead.

The only outcome you like is if villain folds to the reraise.

As for turning 33 into a bluff, it is not such a good hand anyway and just folding is not terrible, so you are not losing a lot.

I generally like to flat call raises with this stack size. The reraise does simplify your decisions.

The reraise/fold line is more playable with a larger stack of maybe 40xBB.

I think that people tend to flat call too much with 50+xBB. With 33xBB to a small raise, it is harder to reraise.
