I wouldn't 3-bet in either hand. I check the first, bet the second.

I don't the hands you are three betting with unless the 3 bets in these cases were situational (i.e. loose open raising from villian).

The first hand I could see arguing two ways. He's going to call atleast one bet with any king and will probably raise if the has the Ah.

But, the hearts have to be just as scary to him as they are to us. So if he doesn't have any hearts or a king he pretty much cannot continue.

I think the main reason I dont think we should bet the flop in the first hand is because the stacks are pretty deep(150bb) which means he can probably float us in position a lot more than if the stacks were 100bb deep. The stack sizes are another reason I dont like 3 betting this preflop OOP

I didn't notice stacks actually, villian does have to be pretty aggressive to float us on a monotone board though.

Both 3bets are standard vs even 18/13 NITs. I would def cbet the 2nd hand unless the guy was a NIT then i might c/f.

1. I like calling and c/r a lot of flops more often than 3-betting.

2. Standard. C-bet for sure.
