I think there is the problem with relying on statistics too much.

I have seen a player play too many hands and bet into pots with some junk. BUT, his PFR reads 7% after 30 hands. So I choose not to 3bet my JJ on the button. Probably the line i'd take vs a nit/tagg who raises utg+1.

By not 3-betting, i'm letting the sb and bb in cheaply (he only opened 3x) and while he's only raised 7% in 30 pf, he's still probably opening a wide enough range to 3bet JJ.

In the HH below, i think i prefer 3betting a daft player. If he opens to $1, I still like the 3bet but not as much. Even though he only opens 7% in 30 hands.

Just wondering what you think?

NB sb and bb are fairly weak loose passive. (16-20/5 ish).

MP1 ($14.55)
MP2 ($25.10)
MP3 ($5)
Hero (CO) ($25.90)
Button ($10.50)
SB ($26.65)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J, J
1 fold, UTG+1 bets $0.75, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.75, 1 fold, SB calls $0.65, BB calls $0.50

it only matters if he would fold 88, 99, TT to a 3b since you do OK vs. his raising range with JJ
