Default Stuck on the flop after 3bet ($11NLTRN)

No monster reads, just that villain isn't a maniac. He also seems to be calling light preflop. I've been pretty aggro. I've also been 3betting him alot in the past few hands beacuase I caught some cards.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t1005)
Button (t1995)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t90</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t240</font>, Button calls t150.

Flop: (t480) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

hero bets 270, villain pushes. Hero?

I find myself in this position alot. Should I have played it differently? Can I fold with so much in the pot and such a small stack? It seems like if I almost always cbet after 3betting and call a push then I'm almost inviting my opponent to try to outflop me. Thoughts?

What would you 3bet with? Also, If stacks were bigger, would you 3bet here?

i dont usually 3bet with AT because he wont throw away better hands and he wont call with hands that are WAAAAY behind often enough and clearly enough for me to make $.

I would play this hand the same way. Since you said he was calling lightly preflop, i would definitely 3bet too.

villain pushes probably with any piece of the board, so i guess you have 6 outs, 25% to hit. But thats the best case, maybe the ace (or even the 10) isnt an out, so i think i would fold.

If you 3-bet this light you probably can't check this flop.

Default Re: Stuck on the flop after 3bet ($11NLTRN)

why are you 3-betting him with A10 after 3-betting the last couple of hands? i can see the argument for light 3-betting sometimes but not when you've been 3-betting with the cards b/c you don't know if the opponent is just playing back or if they've been waiting to out flop you over the past five or eight or however many hands, and have finally caught something.

also if you've been 3-betting him alot and he calls 3-bets light pre flop and not just an initial raise (b/c if he only called your raises light and has been laying down to your 3-bets for a while this is a very different hand) then why are you so short stacked? shouldn't him calling down light have built you a decent stack if you had cards? just curious b/c like i said if he's not been calling down 3-bets light then this is a very different hand.
