Heads up NL Cash vs. someone who basically only 3-bets from the BB

so you're saying, that if we're playing 5/10, and I 3-bet to $90, that you're going to 4-bet me to $180? No one will ever fold to that.

that doesn't seem to accomplish anything, as it doesn't define either of our hands, and especially if you're doing this with mediocre hands, you're building a big pot in which you're probably beat.

Flatcalling the 3-bet and then raising the flop would seem to do a better job.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone advocate smaller raises in which you price in everything.

Yes. They can't call profitably with crap hands out of position. They haven't got the implied odds. Even if he's got a hand like AJs... he can't just call there. He's gonna be hitting the flop a third of the time... You've essentially put him to a decision for all of his chips... while risky only 1/3 - 1/5th of yours.

He isn't put to the decision until you bet at him again. So it's more like 40-50% of your chips (18 pre + cont bet of some kind)
