Default Re: Overplaying a 3-bet pot

I don't mind villians preflop call, and I don't mind a push on the flop, however when you combine them you get a bad play. Villian's pre-flop play doesn't work optimally with his post flop play.

Calling pre-flop is fine because he has position, and if he has a read it's even better. He's against a loose 3 bettor and has a tight image. It should be profitable to sometimes call here and make a play on good flops.

Where he goes wrong is that he makes a play on a flop that he hit. This kills the action from hero's wide range. It would be much better to simply call down 3 streets. The same money goes into the pot, but he lets worse hands bluff, and worse hands catch up to make 1-pair while he makes 2 pair.
