Hi,

here’s my first post as a new member :

– I’m only playing 30 hands at this table and i’m running 14/11

– vilain is kind of aggro and it’s the second time he’s 3betting

– 70 players left , i got a average stack , 75$ buy in on full tilt

When i open with a 20-25 bb stack, I habitually not folding to a 3 bet shove. so i open relatively tight and i try to find good spot to 3 betting ( resteal of for value).

but on this situation, I was little confused…

here is the options :

1) open shove my 24bb stack ? ( nobody can resteal on me with small-mid pp, AxS. but at the same time it’s a big open shove

2) open and call the 3 bet shove of this aggressive guy

3) standard open and fold to 3 bet

I chose the third but i’m really not sure if it was the good choice so what do you think ??

if villain is aggro then calling is probably profitbable. my standard is to fold pre i think.

this depends entirely on what you think BTNs range is to be shoving on you.

we need ~45% equity against his range to break even on a call. i don’t have stove open, but im pretty sure that he needs to be shoving pretty wide for this to be a raise/call.

to get the equity necessary to make a call of a 3bet-shove just divide the total pot by the amount to call, add 1, and then divide 100 by that number:

(100*1)/(pot/amt. to call)+1

in this case:

(100*1)/(13,025/10,625)+1

(100*1)/(1.22)+1

(100*1)/2.22

100/2.22=~45

if you think he’s shoving too much, but don’t feel comfortable raise/calling, then i think i shove here. also, you can raise less preflop with your stack, to like 1100 or even just minraise.

i open everytime preflop , and probably fold to this given these positions since it sounds like you’ve been opening pretty tightly and he has no reason to shove wide enough to profitable call with the equity hagbard said you needed
