Hi, villain has played 19/11 3bet 6 over 211 hands.

I've been working on the red line so I came to the idea of folding this type of hands right from the start instead of waiting for a passive villain to make us fold OTR. Does it have any merit or should I just go with my std line of call/call/fold?

Also, I hope it's not a mistake to call PF considering I'm folding on such a good flop.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.1/$0.25 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$26.80:///////;SB$25.00:///////;BB$43.70:///////;MP3$25.00:///////;CO (Hero)$25.78:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9:d, 9:s.
MP3 folds, Hero raises to $0.75, BU folds, SB raises to $2.50, BB folds, Hero calls $1.75.

Flop: ($5.25) 5:c, 5:s, 6:s (2 players)
SB bets $2.75, Hero folds, SB gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $5.25.

Preflop call looks ok so long as villain isn't 3betting super tight or anything.

Probably a pretty standard flop call imo. Obviously it's not the greatest spot if we are facing a 2barrel, but in reality our opponent is not going to be 2barreling 100% of the time. When he checks the turn we often end up winning.

As far as red line goes we have to find a balance. True if we fold a 2nd barrel our red line will take a hit, but if we are folding to too many flop cbets that's also going to make our red line bad.
