Default Re: Being reraised less than 3x - general thoughts

Not sure entirely what you're asking either. Reads on SB in the hand you posted? Readless, when I get 3bet small I put the 3bettor on a tighter range. That being said...

Yes, you're getting good odds to call pre, but the problem with calling a 3-bet vs. a perceived 3betting range that has you crushed (TT+,AQ+ or whatever), is the negative implied odds you're dishing out. You call a smallish preflop 3bet since you're getting a good price, you hit something on the flop and all of a sudden all your money is in the middle and you got the worst of it. Obviously as a good player, you should be able to get away from 2nd best hands at times, but this spot in the hand you posted is a situation you shouldn't find yourself in from the get-go imo.
