Villain has been very aggro based on stats.  I have him at 19/18 with a 20% MP PFR.  When I was down to 10bbs he opened from utg and i shoved 88 and he called me with 86o so we also have that bit of info on his aggressiveness.

 

What is his range here?  Assuming it's pretty wide (A2+, KT+, 78s+, 22+) do we just flat in position or 3 bet?

Hmmm, interesting spot. In my mind I can make a couple of arguments here, flat the raise and see what you can do post-flop, three-bet him or shove over him. The reason I add in the shove is I find large aggro villains (especially ones that will make calls with 86o) will view it as tremendously weak and like to call, with KQo being a pretty strong holding for shoving there. That being said I would really only pull that move if I am in the BB and the last to act and facing the villain heads up. In this situation I think you are right to lean toward playing with him post flop, but how to get there. I think I prefer a 3bet to dissuade either the SB or the BB from coming along. Problem with flatting here as I see it is you are inviting those other two along, and I am not sure I want to see a multi-way pot (something like T9s, JTs I would prefer to invite them, but KQo, I think I want to dissuade them from coming along). So the long answer I come up with is I would 3bet/call all-in with him expecting to be ahead of his range and being in a situation where his aggression may get the best of him.

How aggro had he been post-flop?  I think I flat here and just play poker in position.  30+bb effective stacks I think you are plenty enough deep to play this hand post especially having position.

Based on his aggro nature, I think I'd 3bet so he's in no doubt as to your strength (perceived).

Normally i'd agree with the flat here (with a less aggro opponent) but the more attached to the pot he becomes the harder I think it will be to shake him off any marginal hands /draws.

The three bet will also strengthen your post flop position should he call. Think his range warrants you call a pre flop jam by him also.

Yeah a flat is cool here. You dominate a lot of his range + you have position. That you can sometimes be dominated does not matter much when you have 30bbs.

Is it ever right to fold here?  What if stack sizes were say 20bb or 80bb effective?
