Is flat calling IP the new 3-bet?

A few months ago people would say 3-bet to anything when you're IP, but now 3-betting here is horrible.

As a side questions, what hands would you think are ok to 3b here pre-flop? low suited connectors? Only premiums? Complete junk?

I can't understand how 3betting TJs here is horrible at all, so if anybody would like to elaborate why it would be a bad play I would appreciate it a lot!

i try to mix up my calling vs 3betting with sc type hands in these spots. if i were just going to play a single hand in a vacuum i'd probably prefer to just call vs most people but 3betting gives cover for big hands.

they both suck more than i thought they would when i opened this thread...

one is a great way to play a big hand because youre getting called by everything under the sun...

two is meh... i mean why did you decide to bluff the maniac? i think you get called by alot on the river... just make a hand and stack the guy playing 52/50... hes prob not good postflop if hes that bad pf... so hell call you too much.

after you float the flop in hand 2 and the turn is a club and after you fire out 300 on turn, is it a reasonable statement to say that you should be pushing this river practically all the time, regardless of which card comes

This was heads up, villain was not a maniac. For what it's worth, I have even looser heads up stats, and I dont think I am a maniac. He was just a LAG HU player. Also, contrary to popular myth, the better play TO bluff is a maniac/looser type simply because their absolute hand values tend to be towards the bottom range. Also, drawing postflop conclusions about preflop numbers is really silly.

i like number 1, not number 2. i think that villain is c/c'ing with 9x or TT+ a lot of the time here. i would check the turn and bet the river. getting c/r'ed here would really suck.

1 looks good because he has a pp here a lot that he'll fold.

edit: i mean on hand 2 you should check the turn with the intention of bluffing river. as played i would check river.
