I dont play a lot of nl200 so I dont have many hands agaisnt him but he is a solid reg. From what I read here hes really aggressive.

1- would you fold after the preflop 3bet?
2-how would you play the turn??

Raise to $8 preflop...just cuz its important I'll say it again, RAISE TO $8 PREFLOP.

Blind battles are VERY player dependent. Vs some people I would c/c flop and turn. Vs others I would c/c flop and c/f turn.

Edit: It is SOOOO important to have a good read that if you don't I would just fold to the 3bet preflop.

Why is one extra BB THAT important?

Makes it look less like a cheap steal attempt?

vs a relative unknown whose "solid reg" reputation precedes him, yes. you have a hand that plays v bad vs his range, and you're oop.

like donk said - blind battles are v player dependent. that needs as much emphasis as the $8 got.
