3-bet on flop vs unknown
this happend after several hands after he got my stack
Merge, $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $52.17 (104.3 bb)
BB: $95.06 (190.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 4 A
Hero raises to $1.50, BB calls $1

Flop: ($3) 8 5 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.50, BB calls $1.50

Turn: ($6) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BB raises to $11, Hero raises to $24, BB raises to $92.06 and is all-in, Hero calls $25.17 and is all-in

River: ($104.34) 3 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
pre is fine, flop is fine, turn he raises me and it's obvious 3-bet becase:
1) opp got our stack and would have more value in his range rather than bluffs.
2) opp may think that we are tilting and would call us wider
3) lots of river cards may kill action: A,4,6, diamonds
the question is how much should I 3-bet? min raise would look :f_love: :f_love: :f_love: I didn't want to 3-bet big in order to leave space for his stupid moves. so what should be size of 3-bet?

hi

if you want to 3bet, it should be small so that you can look as bluffy as possible. However, I think you are in position and you should just flat and let him spazz.

I don't see how this situation is the same as the QJ hand, it's completely different. Now you are the one facing the Turn raise, not the one c/r-ing the flop and flatting a 3bet.

Basically, I'm not liking it. 3bet only makes sense if you think he's never folding and has so many 2p/sets so it's best jus tto get all the money in and cooler him right away before a bad card comes. But if he can have air here you should flat and let him barrel.

Thanks.

I was pritty sure that it wasn't bluff and it was value hand that's why I did 3-bet. so that looks like size of 3-bet is fine
