What do you do against regulars who 3 bet you alot?

[WantToLearn]

It depends wether or not I am ahead of their range on average.

So, are they restealing when we have the button/cutoff, or are they 3-betting our early position raises a lot?

Are we playing timid post-flop?

Generally speaking, without notes or so, I tend to give them credit when they start doing this, but I take notes. I always take notes when someone has seen me fold more than normal.

Did they see us fold to 3-bets a lot in the past?

Just some ideas.

c/r shove vs thier cbets in reraised pots. Most of the regs 3bet a good ammount and they do it light, however, thier mistake is that they then go on and cbet in those reraise pots way to often. Make them pay for this.

If I know the guy plays well post flop, I just avoid him when possible. And try to choose a seat where guys like this don't have position on you. You won't make any profit trying to outplay these guys in large pots out of position. There are lots of tables to choose from, and the better you choose, the more $$$ you make.

Some players will 3BET me alot from BTN, CO or from the Blinds. They will do it equally from those spots and do it often.

I fold alot to 3BETs but occasionally i'll play back, but its still costing me money in the long run. Its putting me in tough spots and i'm not adjusting properly.

yeah, i currently do this...

but the higher stakes you go, the more of these players there are, and the more tables you play, the harder it is to aviod them.

If you are Prahlad you should start 4 betting them.

But my advice to you is to practice avoidance.
