On the Flop, most of the time he will fold to your Continuation bet, since he is Tight.

Strongly disagree.

this is very player specific and completely makes the difference between 3betting and folding preflop.

seriously guys, i steal from my button a LOT, and i've never stacked off when behind to anyone. usually they smoothcall my raise with a big hand like aces and then stack off to me when i flop top 2. yeah, they get my cbet at times, but usually i'm getting their 4BB call.

CAterp,

surely it therefore makes sence to 3bet 22+ vs you preflop?

surely it does. and if you started doing it i would adjust, but in my experience, most people bend over and take it up the ass when you steal their blinds, whether preflop or postflop.

fly,

you really don't think 3betting is +EV?

[/ QUOTE ]

As a standard play in this situation? No (for most players).

Edit ----

A little personal experience. I play a ~20/10 6max game and make big bucks off of people who 3-bet me to light out of the blinds. This is not to say that I would not be abused if a very good player was doing the 3-betting but still...

how would you adjust? I don't mean just you, but any decent TAG? Would you steal less, or float more? Maybe 4bet light?

B/c I think that any of those options are surely better for me in the blinds than you stealing my blinds the whole time

Well, I tried it ...

No Limit Hold'em Ring Game (6 max) , 5 players
Blinds : $1/$2

Stacks:
UTG : $82
CO : $816.88
Button : $389.50
Hero : $303.60
BB : $164.45

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $8</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $27</font>, BB folds, Button calls ($19).

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($56, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $44</font>, Button calls.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($144, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $95</font>, Hero folds.

Results: (final pot $239)
Button wins $237

... it didn't work. Button was the perfect guy to do this on - a 24/16 TAG with a huge open range and folded a lot to cbets postflop.

BTW 22 is almost the perfect reraise bluff hand. The reason is you should be reraise-bluffing with your best hands that are too weak to call with.

(the old "Shania" article uses a bad example of reraise bluffing with 23o or something like that - really you should reraise with the very best of the hands that you would fold if you never bluffed).

(also this is "best" not in the hot-and-cold sense but in terms of being able to run all in, but rather "best" in the likelihood of outflopping AA).

I think reraising is better than calling.

However, calling is +EV.

When you flop a set, there is still a pretty good chance you're going to get paid.

When the board looks to have missed everyone, I probably am going to reverse float and take down a nice pot.

Does this really happen to you often enough to make big bucks? Seems that the number of players in small stakes that three bet with anything other than AA/KK is rather small. Villains that are 3 betting light out of the blinds is even more rare, IMO. You must have great table selection [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
