pair + something, I didn't state that clearly.
If we expect 3-4 callers I totally agree with you, if we except 1-2 callers I totally disagree with you. I can imagine, FR live 3-4 is probably more likely, 6max online 1-2 is more likely. With a lot of people in it's more likely someone hits something, so more likely you get paid when you hit. With fewer players staying in the pot it seems like there is value to be gained by 3betting pre.
I know that's just an example you offered, but I can come up with a bunch of examples where he calls with a decent hand hits a flop they love, and has 40%, for example a rundown that hits an inside 3card nut wrap with top pair (which negates 2 pair outs). Also, it goes with what the doc said, if you're stacking on every 367 then 3betting isn't great.
