Default Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Slim, medium pocket pairs just have too much value to 3-bet imo. Sure, his opening range is fairly wide, so he'll probably be folding a lot. But, this isn't really an agrument for a hand with as much value as 77. It's a more valuable argument for hands like 78s, or worse that have less showdown value unimproved and don't flop as big as often as pps.

If the guy you are 3-betting is solid, his calling range is pretty narrow here. So, if you get called or 4-bet, 77 no longer has a lot of value. So, you're hoping he folds and 77 is just too strong IMO to just hope he folds.
