400NL - 3betting vs fish.

[Mossberg]

I should have this stuff figured out by now, but I'm still unsure of what is correct. I will give a couple examples to illustrate the problems I'm having.

villain is a 70/45/1 and has a fairly high fold to cbet % (70%). He can fold to a 3bet sometimes preflop, and I think he will usually fold to a cbet if he missed the board (unless he has strong overs like AK/AQ, in which case, he can probably peel light). Given my description, is this hand fairly standard? Should I be more inclined to 3bet good hands like KQ/AJ in or out of position against this guy?

I think this next hand is more interesting. Villain is 55/12/2.3 (mostly 3-5 handed) and we're playing 3handed at the time. I think he can bluff with pure air, peel light, etc. I also think his pf calling range is pretty much anything he opens with. Should I even be 3betting him in the first place? FWIW I have been running cold against this guy and checking lots of flops, so I thought I might get some respect this time.

Both are fine.

[AbreuTime]

If it was button vs SB, do people 3bet against these guys with KQ? Since he rarely folds to 3bet, it makes for many tricky situations on flop. If he folds 70% to cbet, then it's fine, but is another line more ++EV?

These both look fine....too bad you got minraised in both hands and had to fold....run better next time.

Hand 1 is played good given the description

Hand 2 you definately want to be 3 betting. The fact that he never folds pre is MORE of a reason to 3 bet, because there's so much value to be had and he'll be calling with a lot of dominated hands that you will stack when you both catch a piece.

Whether or not to c-bet the flop is a close decision vs. this guy, it depends a lot on feel/game flow etc., I think both betting or checking behind are acceptable.
