23/20 over 180 hands, AF 2.3, 3bet 8.8% fold to 3bet 71%

any point in slowplaying here? Feel like slowplaying could maybe allow me to get one street of value from pps

not so much "slowplaying" as adopting more of a way ahead/way behind stance, this isn't really a 3 streets hand.
that said, cbetting is the best way to rep air, BUT i also don't think he can continue too often with less than a gs in this board anyway

Hi legand73

Preflop: What's your 3-bet range here?

Postflop: What do we get value from if we bet? Maybe a Qx? But those won't give you that much value past the flop so yes checking to let him either catch a piece or bluffing would be fine.

What's your 3-bet range here?

probably something like this:
QQ+,A2s+,K2s+,QTs+,J9s+,T8s+,97s+,86s+,76s,ATo+,KTo+,QTo+

Qx only probably yeah

So you are 3-betting 18%+ there?

How much of it is value?

I'm not sure how much he plays back from the CO vs 3bet here since he doesn't often play back vs 3bets in general. i'm looking to get it in w/ QQ+, AK as a general rule i suppose

After looking at his stats a little more he doesn't 4bet at all but that's 0/7 so we have a sample size issue. so yeah i'm thinking QQ+,AK maybe he can call w/ like AT,AJ so perhaps AQ is for value.

That's a pretty huge bluff range then.

You are essentially getting it in with just 2.3% so you have 16% as bluffs...That's almost 90% bluffs so unless he is some big nit you may run into problems.

I thought i could raise any 2 since he folds to 3bet 70% but tbh my math is pretty rusty

Hi guys

I don't think foldto3B stat is reliable enough after 180 hands to make an exploitative play like 3betting A3o here worth considering.

If he is still folding 70%+to 3bets after let's say 700 hands it is reasonable for us to have an 18% 3bet/folding range tho.

Hey Zoltan,

Exactly what you said.

Sample size is almost irrelevant for 3-bets here and on top of that we have to look at positional 3-bet.

Someone in CO vs BTN will generally fold less than 70% even if their stat shows 70% overall.
