Playing pocket pairs against regs

[Barrin6]

Someone, I won't name, told me it's horrible to cold call PP's against someone who is good in the blinds. Instead you should 3bet and cbet the board...

For example..

Note:It's 4 handed, so UTG is basically CO


Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $2/$4 Blinds - 4 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $712.90
BB: $184.90
UTG: $394.00
BTN: $400.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 Players)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $14.00</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $54.00</font>, BB folds, UTG calls $40.00

Flop: ($112) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $72.00</font>



Now can someone tell me if this is true or is this going to get me into alot of [censored]

as long as you're not doing it every time you're dealt a PP...

if you have to play a huge pot to play these at all (RR + cbet), you can see how your opponents are winning when they have position on you

i agree with this. not complety but to a certain degree. against some some good regs i wont call with small pp from the blinds and instead 3bet with medium one (66+).

Seems pretty standard.

I love to 3-bet my pp in position and from the blinds, but wouldnt dare to bet them out on such a coordinated board.

I don't mind a call... but I'm not only calling for set value, I will CR bluff some good flops as well.

This isnt a very nice flop. I think not c-betting here is fine a lot since this nails his range imho. But about your question i think this is good, but you def shouldnt do it every time. FOlding is probably sometimes and more often better than anything player dependent of course.

Oh I forgot to add. The person said that calling pf not just for set value is also a leak.

I think this is pretty bad. If he opens light but folds to alot of 3bets then sure I don't mind it, but players like that are rare. Your 3bet is going to be called too often, and your hand is not gonna fare well enough postflop very often either.

Just call.
