Default Re: Advice on these 3b pots

[ QUOTE ]
Why does everyone like to call with suited trash to bust a guy that's a light 3-bettor? He's not going to have a huge hand enough of the time to stack off when you finally hit 2pr or a big draw. I'd rather shove the flop than float it, but I'd fold pre.

Hand 2 looks okay.

I couldn't agree more . . . wtf at calling with these 64/53/86s/etc hands PF. I see this crap all the time. If I guy 3 bets light fold these hands.

I shove TT on the JJJ flop if i think he is 3-betting light, if he has one of the 3 bigger pairs, so be it. And you probably know he is 2-barreling anyway, so might as well push before any scarecards come out on later streets. Calling to reevaluate is your worst option I think.

Rest i fold, cause a 3-bet pot is cut and dried, push or fold. Spew with these weak hands in big HU pots.

To be honest, I don't mind how you played all of the hands. With the 64s hands, obviously nothing wrong with folding preflop but you need to call in those spots too sometimes. You're obviously not calling because you think "I'm ahead of his range", you're calling because you're in position and can take the pot away frequently. Which is why in hand #3 I would definitely bet the turn. Forget about your small showdown equity and bet for protection + to fold out some stuff.

What you need in situations like this are your opponent's continuation bet and double barrel frequencies. With no reads, folds are probably good. But if he's double barreling a ton in 3bet pots (some regs do, some almost never do..) then you're going to need to look him up sometimes.
