I normally fold with a hand like this to a preflop 3-bet if I'm OOP against a good player and effective stacks are 100bb's or less. I think at higher higher limits such as this calling once-in-a-while is ok because you can play your flopped draws fast and count on having some FE.
My first thought would be to consider what his 3-bet bluff the day before meant. Was it just one of those board texture bluffs where he knew you could only continue with a very small range of hands? Or do you think he was making a move on you based on a read that he thinks you play strong hands fast but c/r with air?
I this you should play this however you would play a set OOP in a 3-bet pot with this board against this villain (considering what you think his earlier move on you meant). The only reason I might deviate from that line is if it might lead to him getting his chips in before you. You want some FE if all your chips are going in.
Wow, I feel like a politician with that response... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
