V seems solid. 28/20 2% 3-bet over 145 hands. In the current flow he just seems solid. I’ve 3-bet him from the BB and he folded and didn’t seem overly agro. Still, he has chips. What do you think?

Probably shouldn’t 3b without a reason and knowing what you’re gonna do if he 4bs…

I planned to fold to a 4-bet before 3-betting, I just don’t know if the plan was good from the start. I felt like fletting would invite a squeeze and folding seemed too tight. At these stakes I rarely get 4-bet so I think I end up seeing a flop in position maybe 60% here and taking it down 35%…it might be even higher but I’m expecting EP opens have more calls. As I think through this I like my line more because I doubt there are many bluffs in his 4-bet range, so maybe I learned what I needed to. He could have had hands that don’t dominate me here too, but probably just any pair and then I’m racing with a slight disadvantage at best. ATs feels too low for his range, but maybe…at the time I figured any Ax ties or beats me. Maybe KQs, but that seems low as well for this V.

Once you 3-bet here you’ll be getting really good odds when v 4-bet shoves. If your going to 3-bet/f this hand you may as well fold this pre.
I’d fold pre imo.
what % of hands do you think is opening up with here? if we 3-bet shove do you think our hand does well against his range?

You should think more deeply about some of the things you are saying here. You will face a four-bet 5% of the time or less? Even if V is opening a pretty aggressive range from EP, he will have AA or KK about 5% of the time, plus everyone else at the table has a chance of getting dealt those as well.
Why is inducing a squeeze bad? If flatting will actually cause bad hands to re-raise you (which I think you’re overestimating – again, people are constrained in their ability to do this because of the EP raiser), then flatting and calling or shoving over a squeeze sounds like a viable option…

If this where me i think 3 bet folding is pretty bad with our stack size as from what i can tell we have around 16-17 big`s so im not using this stack as a 3 bet fold stack, if im 3 betting its going to be all in to maximize fold equity but i do still think he can call the shove with worse, sometimes he will turn over better but we can always suck out and if we get a double up we are in a nice spot
if we are playing for the win we need to take risks and not be afraid to bust, if we are afraid to bust and take a chance its very unlikely we will get our self in a spot that we can win + look at his stack size and stat`s its a fair assumption that he is not only waiting to open premiums and i think that 4 bet could easily be 10`s or lower and i dont mind flipping with 16bb
However im a micro stakes player recently coming back from a break and i focused mainly on 6 max cash before i went on break so dont take this as gospel – it could be very wrong, would love to hear more feedback on this.

Thanks for the replies! I have plenty more work to do on positions and ranges for 3-betting (or not 3-betting for that matter).
Results:
– I folded.
– Later, after busting, I asked what he had and he said AQo
