Hi,

A lot of the time, I am facing the situation where I am UTG or OOP, and my hand is good enough for a 3bet. So I do the 3bet as standard play, the issue is when I am not making hands OTF or OTT. So I think it is something that exploitable. How do you play such scenarios?

You decide mostly based on 'Fold To Flop CBet' of villain?
Do you flat pre hoping to catch with les money involved?
Do you CB OTF pushing away the opponents? sizing?
Do you X/F if you completely miss OTF?

How do you decide and based on which reasons here?

PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 40 BB
BTN: 100 BB
SB: 98 BB
Hero (BB): 116 BB
UTG: 161 BB
MP: 85 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ A♣

fold, fold, CO raises to 3.5 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 11 BB, CO calls 7.5 BB

Flop: (22.5 BB, 2 players) 4♠ 2♠ 7♦
Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: (22.5 BB, 2 players) 3♣
Hero bets 10.5 BB, CO raises to 21 BB, fold

CO wins 41 BB

This spots, are spots that I am bleeding money. I mean I am not losing a big pot, but something like 25, 30 BB in general. It's OK when once or twice, but if it is happening alot, I end up losing 4 times a 25BB which is a stack of 100BB over the course of the session.

Any recommendation to stop bleeding here?

A cbet isn't a bad idea I think. Off course against a mid stack you are easy committed, but you can easy represent a over pair.
As played I would just check/fold turn or river on a decent bet. Tough to represent something.
