3 bet Blind Defence against TAG

bet/call the flop...or crai...you 3-bet a marginal hand and you flopped TP with a straight draw. if you're not willing to put chips in post flop you shouldn't be 3-betting pre-flop imo.

This is nonsense.

His attempt to steal is 21%, so KJ doesnt fair that bady against his range.

Alot of the time he fold to the 3 bet (small pairs etc), or calls with these / AK and folds to my probable c-bet on most flops.
From Pokerstove his range is approximately any pair, any broadway (ie QT) and A7+.

Given that he calls, and that we get to see what the flop brings, we have a whole new load of information on which to base our decision. We should not ignore this information 'because we re-raised with KJ in the first place'.

When he calls the re-raise we can re-evaluate his hand range against the flop texture. I would assume his hand range for calling re-raises in position to be approx 88 or 99+, AK, possibly AQs. Against that range on this flop texture our hand is garbage.

Ignoring this new information and 'sticking to our guns' is criminal.

An ASB of 21 is very low for a TAG, and you shouldn't be raising KJ against someone with an ASB that low. Over 30 and I'm fine with it.

And this guy's a nit. Bet/call flop against a TAG. Fold preflop against a nit, as played, OK I guess.

i suppose you didn't play the hand so unreasonably. i just think the flop is decent for your hand and you need to get aggressive w/it somewhere on the flop. i don't like checking 3-streets when there are so many scare cards that could come.
