Default The good old 5-bet light.

funny hand i want to share:
playing live 10/20 NLHE in baden out of boredome after busting in the EPT while waiting for a friend.
following scenario:

young scandinavian player sits down in seat1 and buys in for 3k, im in seat2 and cover. he posts in CO+1, its folded to him and he makes it 80, i pretend to look at my cards and make it 260 other players fold and he reraises to 800ish. i think hes full of it so i put him all-in. he tanks for a minute or so and finally folds.

i table my T3s and the other players - mostly old, nitty guys who bought in for the minimum of 500 - go crazy while i explain that i would have folded T3o but suited this hand is just too strong.

beat: probably difficult to bluff them now
brag: i dont play much live because its too boring but feeling damn good right now.
variance: even if this play is -EV you cannot underestimate the implied tilt factor if he happens to have a big pair and i suck out while having direct position on villian for the entire session.
