Default Re: $6 NLTRN: A8s OOP

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I'm not sure I understand why we would rather 3-bet PF here than call. I was under the impression we should only 3-bet PF with really strong hands (like AJ+), since it tends to build a pot OOP. Especially in this spot vs. his large PF raise, any 3-bet will have to be huge. So I feel like my options are between calling and folding (and in the future I think I'll fold this). I think if he had raised to say 75 or so, I would be more inclined to 3-bet this hand. Hopefully my thinking here makes sense.

This is basically my thinking, although I almost always 3 bet AT/KQ. Although I think 3-betting A8 is ok against an aggro villain, I would also need a read that he will fold to some of my 3bets. If he never folds to 3bets and will shove light on the flop, then this is just building an unnecessarily large pot oop imo.
