[Closed] NL 100 56s

Here is what I do when I get 3B constantly by sb or bb:
Tighten up a bit your range
open raise smaller (btw is 3BB your normal open from BU?)
start 4B light
Call more 3B

When I call more I would call depolarized to have all his crap dominated. That's the reason I don't like to call 56s. (not sure if I would open at all if the guy keeps 3B me).

as Played: That's the problem here because you might be ahead but your hand is very weak and since he is aggro at least flop and turn it means that you have to call at least 2 barrels. Not happy to do so I just fold.

My openraise size depends on bb's calling range against steal, if it's 15 or more i raise to 3 bbs, although in such cases with extremelly aggro sb it might be better idea to just minraise.

Also, I did tighten up but IMO 56s is still good enough to steal.

Also, since all those hands were in the same session, I think he was shoving very light because he expected people to 4b him light. Next time I am of course 4betting almost every single 3bet against him.

What would be the lowest suited connector you would call against him? And pocket pair?

Also what's the best pushing range here? I would probably 4b/push 99+, AQ+, thoughts? I would slowplay KK+ ofc., maybe even QQ.

How wide your 4bet/calling-range should be depends entirely on how much he will shove in a certain hand, it's not possible to make a general statement:
Generally I widen it to something like TT+,AK or 99+,AK and call weaker hands like AQ and AJ that still dominate his range.

How wide you can call vs his 3bet depends on how well you can exploit him postflop.
Generally without good reads imo it's best to fold most SC's and defend only with hands that are actually ahead of his range - always keep in mind that you're playing with a range vs another range, so OR/f is NOT losing you 3bb.
So I'd fold 65s pre.

As played imo it's an easy call on the flop because we have backdoordraws and will get 66-QQ to fold in any case - we don't need to turn our hand into a bluff right away.
At the same time we might even be able to induce another bluffbarrel.

Educate me: what means calling depolarized range?

To the actual hand, i'm a station hence i often call down here. Esp like calling down if his pre range is polarized.

By calling depolarized I mean calling the 3B with a depolarized range (all broadways etc) i.e no SCs, small PP
