Definitely not the first 3-bet from this villain, though his flop strength led me to believe he had something here...at least a pair. I've been my usual aggro self, raising almost every button, c-betting lots etc...

Call of course, what range could he possibly have here that you don't have odds to call?
Fold preflop and I hate raising 4x as your standard if you're raising most buttons and getting 3-bet a lot. |

| Just because you are playing HU doesn't mean you have to play crappy aces in 3 bet pots. |

Yeah I'm a FR donk who's trying to adapt to looser HU games.
Why only 3x? Enough to get the job done in deepstack HU?
So what is an 'acceptable' 3-bet calling range in this spot vs a villain who's 3-betting maybe 1/5th of your PFRs? AJ+? |

| Keeps the pot small so your bluffs are cheaper and encourages BB to play out of position. I think the main reason for raising 4x + in fr and 6 max is for isolation and that's kind of automatic in HU. |

I'm not saying you have to have a tight range of calling a three bet either. I just chose hands that aren't as dominated as A x offsuit. If he is three betting a ton you could call with suited connectors, pairs, strong aces, and KQ.
Also if he is 3 betting you too much start mixing in small 4 bet bluffs and/or tighten up a little on the button. |

I agree.
Also, I hate pf calls with this kind of hand. Raise or fold imo |

*waits for another person to tell me that my preflop call was bad*
Ok, ok, I'm a HU donk, I get it.
What factors to people use to determine whether or not to 4-bet / call / fold?
If someone's 3-betting a little light, is it better just to 4-bet more when you're OOP, and call more IP? Would you ever call 3-bets with hands like AJ (and why?), or is it also too easily dominated? |

This is something I'm looking for advice on as well.
I think for folding/raising it's simply a matter of determining his pf raise ranges and whether you're behind or ahead.
For calling, I'm starting to realize I may be calling with too many hands that I should insert into the above paragraph, fold or raise. I think hands that you should call with are drawing hands like suited connectors and possibly small pairs.
I want to hear advice from people who aren't dumb at poker like me. |

I'll take a stab:
If v is 3-betting that loose, then A8 actually plays well against that wide of a range. But since most villain's 3-betting range isn't that wide, A8 doesn't play profitably against the typically tighter range given how badly it's often dominated.
I learned a lot from this thread, and from playing a bunch more.
Despite people having wider ranges, they're not usually AS wide as I originally assumed... |
