Your 3-bet on the flop should be all-in. You want to maximize your fold equity here.

Fold equity ??? You do realize that hero is a favorite here, right ??


Pushing might or might not be the right play, but the reason for this is not maximizing fold equity

Lol, so just because hero is a favorite, we don't want villain to fold? That makes no sense.

We want villain to make a mistake. With pretty much any range of hands villain has, he's going to be making a mistake by folding his hand since hero only has a draw (even if hero is a slight favorite) due to pot odds.

There are lots of reasons we want to get the money in here, but the main difference between a small raise and an all-in raise is that the all-in raise has a higher chance to make villain fold.

i've been thinking about FE when we are favored to win the pot a decent amount because it seems to come up often and I think its a matter of whether the added FE makes the play more +EV than the edge we have in equity alone.

ure not understanding that even though we are +EV if he calls, we are +++EV when he folds.
