Resteal problem solving (stars 100r)

I don't like 3-betting light too much with these stack sizes. With 12-30BB, you can make a resteal allin or essentially so. With 70-110BB, it is hard for villain to 4-bet, since he winds up playing for all his chips, which is an overbet.

Here, you give villain a possible reraise allin and you have a tricky situation OOP if he flat calls.

I don't think the 3-bet is bad, but I wouldn't do it without a specific reason.

The basic reasons for this particular one was the frequency of his LP raises, and the fact that i had a very good reraising image, as the only hands i'd shown down, even with open raises, had been big ones.

Plus this guys 13/10 numbers mean's he raises a fair bit, but almost never calls.

If he never calls, i.e. your objective is primarily to get a PF fold, you still should raise to more than 3k here, no? Unless I'm missing somehting you are giving him 2:1, so unless he puts your range virgin tight, you SHOULD be getting called and playing OOP.

I don't play the $100r, but I assume these players typically understand hand ranges and equity against them.
