Question on the Pre-Flop 3bet:

1. Do you know if he is a calling station?

The reason I ask is, if he is then I am fine pumping it up in an effort to extract value. If he isn't or you aren't sure, you have just betrayed your hand strength in my opinion. So often in these stakes that 3bet size is a mid pocket pair, AQ, AJ type hand trying to protect itself by scaring everyone off and you are going to get put into tough spots because of it. I think his check/raise on the flop is exactly that. If I were the villain and the ace hits I am going to check and let you c-bet then I will check raise you virtually 100% of the time putting you to a difficult decision (this case is easy you are going to continue, but you are going to lose value because of it I think). In this case I don't think there is much you are going to do to get value from future streets because if he is any good and you do something against the check/raise your hand is basically face up and he should be going into shutdown mode. Be careful with your bet sizing, unless you have some very specific information.

— I totally miss read, thx Hagbard. God, I don't know what the hell happened there. Been reading “Let there be Range” and have 3betting on the brain. For BvB, its fine. Take him for all he'll give.
