hey man -

well i guess i usually either 3-bet or fold pre:

1. 3-bet: good if he folds, terrible otherwise – same on flops it's good to 3-bet people here who will fold to too many c-bets, terrible otherwise. rarely you flop 2p+ or a draw strong enough to stack off so i guess this is the least good of the two options.

2. fold: you have 4hi and just 25c in the pot. no need to say more here.

the reason i don't like calling is how little value your hand has – we have to be able to bluff him off and if he's a lagtard he's probably going to fire twice so our 'bluff the turn when he checks' isn't happening and if we raise and he's a losing player he's going to shove all kinds of weird stuff when we only have a draw and are raising.

i'm thinking what our optimal calling and 3-betting ranges are against this guy and honestly i'm not sure. i guess he doesn't fold much so a blended 3-bet range is probably good – broadways, AT+, 88+ — he almost certainly calls with tons of dominated hands.

what concerns me then is what we flat with – as whenever we're 3-betting a blended range we have a super weak range when we flat so i suppose i flat 22-77 and Axs a8o+ as value flats and try to randomise with some KT type hands too so we can hit all kinds of boards when we've flatted.
