ZOOM 88 IP vs a preflop 3bet

1) Accounting for the stacks, yes. Think is rule of 10: what you'll pay to call, multipled by 10 has to be no bigger than the effective stack sizes. That is related with the probability of hitting a set and likelywood of being paid is only worth if the effective stack size has a 1-10 relation to what you need to pay.

2) Readless is a hard spot. To pay flop, I'd need some info on villain and if I called, I don't think I'd fold turn after increasing my #outs (5s were added as GS). I don't mean the GS would give me odds to continue, but if I was playing the turn, I think I already have convinced myself that villain would have some bluffs on his range. Basically, I would keep 50/50 good hand/bluff, but have 4 more outs in case he actually had a good hand. Not sure if this makes sense nor if I expressed myself correctly.

Most of the time I would fold pre-flop against a 3bet. SB should have a tight 3bet range against a UTG open and you beat only a hand like AK in his/her 3bet range. Based on the call20 rule for set value you can't call for set value only.

1. I think it is ok to call 3B IP. But be careful postflop.
2. I think we cannot fold 2nd pair here. Villain will cbet AK hands which we beat.
