I'm going to have to think about the 3-bet preflop then check the flop method, as I am more intrigued on this line and when to use it.

Actually, I am with baronzeus here. He's a high limit player and I've played with him before and he's pretty good. 3bet preflop is the way to go for a multitude of reasons, all of which were explained in the thread.

But, this thread that articknight created was dealing with chronic 3 betters. If you KNOW he's defending his blind, and its probably with a worse hand than you are raising, then cap your hand. Also, I'm more inclined to go to showdown with middle/bottom pair in blind steal situations.
