general AK 3bet or call question

[DrMega]

I like three-betting here also, partly because we have a good hand, and partly because conventional wisdom often says a three-bet always means AA or KK. If he's that tight, he may give up 10 10 and fold preflop, or at the very least call and fold to a c'bet on a dry board.

Also, as Kos13 said, you don't want 98s on the button to come along for the ride.

I'll do a v5 in the near future that better reflects TAG tendencies. I'll post it when I do.

Dont get to caught up in the 5% PFR range, i just made it up, assume i'm correct.

For all those that 3-bet this all day how do the variables mmentioned change your answer?

DO you still 3-bet if:

-his PFR is 3%; or
-effective stack sizes are now 200BB; or
-we are in the SB and oop; or
-We know for a fact that he is a very very good player, even though his stats suggest otherwise.

Our 3b should be even scarier to him 200bb deep.

in general i like a call.

[Johnes Benjamin]

If his PFR is 3 or less I like a call. Most of the money we are making here is just from picking up his cbet when we hit the flop.
OOP I will 3bet less but I think I'm kind of a pussy OOP. If we 3bet we are leading the flop almost no matter what, right? This depends a lot on whether I think individual player is likely to give up or not.
Against a good player I am also less likely to put money in before I have a made hand, so I'm less apt to 3bet.
