3bet more preflop.

Make it $4.5 at least. People's biggest mistake at these levels (and beyond) is calling too much. Make them make an even bigger mistake by calling with even worse odds.

As played it's fairly standard and a cooler if you lost (which I assume).

I wouldn't raise much more PF. You want to give them a chance to hit. 4,5 is probably good. 3.8 isn't a mistake imo.
On the flop you're getting 2:1, so folding is really hard. A lot of players (including me) will check-raise this board on a strong draw against the initial raiser.

I highly doubt that villains in this hand will base their decision to call or fold on the size of the 3bet.

Definitely no need to make it less than pot

why would you doubt this? the less you 3bet the more often they will call, and the more you 3bet the less often they will call...pretty simple. if you min-3bet they will call way more often then if you shove-3bet.

HUGE difference between min 3 betting and 3bet shoving.

not such a big difference between 3betting to $3.85 and 3betting to $4.50. I think thats the important bit - at this level, if they'll call $3.85 then they'll be more than willing to call $4.50 the majority of the time.

right. sugar didn't say that though (i guess maybe that's what he was getting at though).

i really dont think you are correct in this assumption. i dont think this relationship is linear. how many times have you been much more suspicious of a huge shove than of a mid size value looking bet.? and even further, how often do you sense a small minnish value bet and just fold even though youre getting amazing odds?

i never advocated shoving. Just making it pot at least.

And I know for a fact that cally players in my games don't draw a line between a less-than-pot and a pot 3bet if they've decided to play their hand.

Can't imagine this is different at 25NL

you guys wanting to 3bet bigger are just huge nits that never 3bet light.

Seeing how OP is probably one of you, I'll agree with making it $4.25 minimum.

go ahead and start 3bet shoving AA every time and see how profitable it is for you then.
