Hello!

Common problem situation when UTG/MP opens, later position 3bets and hero's sitting with AK/QQ

What my general line should be against unknowns?

In this particular hand, I think folding is fine because regular CO had 3bet only once after 190 hands.

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $10.70 (107 bb)
BB: $23.35 (233.5 bb)
UTG: $5.94 (59.4 bb)
MP: $17.02 (170.2 bb)
CO: $10.15 (101.5 bb)
Hero (BTN): $16.40 (164 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K A
UTG raises to $0.30, MP folds, CO raises to $0.84, Hero folds, SB calls $0.79, BB calls $0.74, UTG calls $0.54

Flop: ($3.36) 6 3 3 (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, CO bets $1.50, SB calls $1.50, 2 folds

Turn: ($6.36) 4 (2 players)
SB checks, CO bets $3, SB folds

Results:

$6.36 pot ($0.29 rake)
Final Board: 6 3 3 4
SB mucked and lost (-$2.34 net)
CO mucked and won $6.07 ($3.73 net)

Hey there,

I would fold against 2% or less, if he 3bets 3-4% or more in this position (look at positional stats), then maybe I would consider cold calling or put in a cold 4bet.

Thanks for your answer :)

How should I play against two totally unknown opponents? Am I missing value if I take a low variance route and fold?

My guess is that the average NL10 guy 3bets 2% or less here, so fold is probably best.
