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...
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (2 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)
BB ($78)
Hero ($167.30)
Preflop: Hero is Button with  ,  .
Hero raises to $4, BB raises to $12, Hero calls $8.
Flop: ($24)  ,  ,  (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $16, BB pushes Hero...? |

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. |
