PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG+1 ($142.35)
MP1 ($106)
MP2 ($55.15)
MP3 ($93)
CO ($92)
Button ($184.50)
Hero ($112.30)
BB ($213.30)
UTG ($26.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 6.
6 folds, Button raises to $3, Hero raises to $10.5, 1 fold, Button folds.

Final Pot: $7

BB is ubernit 9/4 or something. NOTE BB IS NOT VILLAIN HERE.

How high does villain's attempt to steal need to be for this, and what sort of bet sizing do you recommend here?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I like to have at least a little bit of a hand when I defend, like 75o or A3s, against such a nit I usually don´t fight at all from SB, b/c he´s a nit (obv) and BB is left to act.

How do you know villain is a nit? And you didn't really answer my question?

Edit: So if villain had attempted to steal 100 times out of 100, you wouldn't defend here?

sorry, misread that, took the raiser as the described nit.

I´d like to see a attempt to steal >30 and to have a tight image. since you have more than 100BB behind I like a bigger raise to 12-13, to make implied odds look worse and keep him from calling with lower pp´s against which we´re far behind.

i would be more likely to do it if he has shown he will fold either pf or on the flop easily without a hand. i.e. he plays straightforward in 3bet pots, and has no reason to suspect you are defending.

Maybe wait till you have 65s or maybe just 65. I like range polarization when 3betting, but 62 isn't really smart polarization. But really it so often matters on the game flow so it doesn't really matter.

Goddamn it's hard to get you people to answer a question sometimes.

At what point does his attempt to steal % reach a number that it's profitable to 3-bet with ATC? Does this point exist?

wow... you just brought the saying 'any two' to a whole new level. You must have a good read on button to be able to make this sort of move with such garbage. I'm waiting for something we could work with.

You didn't explicitly ask ATC in the OP. Your move can be profitable vs somebody you wouldn't wanna 3bet with ATC. IMO, 3betting is largely a balancing act with game flow. If he's been raising a lot or you've been folding a lot then go ahead and 3bet ATC, but if you've been 3betting a lot and he's been folding a lot then you wanna 3bet real tight.

If the aggro stealer knows you're aggro restealing then he's gonna aggro reresteal.

This is partly why I like 3betting with a polarized range instead of balanced one. 3bet pots seem to be 'felt or fold', and 3betting medium-big hands can get you into a lot of tough spots.

button should auto-raise BBs blind anf fold ay flop bb takes unless he has a super strong hand.
therefore he should open like 100% from his button, so spoon should 3 bet 75% or so here, actual hands are irrelevant, how buttons hand plays to a 3 bet is.

Why is button only concerning themselves with the BB? SB should be taken into consideration here as well. I mean, if button knew that sb was 3betting 75% of hands in this situation, button would probably not open.

<---- devil's advocate because I see your point, and most buttons do not include multi level thinking in regards to sb's actions here.

assume spoon is 14/10 or something, and 3 bets every hand he ever plays, you should still open 100% from the button because spoon folds 85% and you lose the pot the rest of the time, forgetting teh times he 3 bets and you have a real hand.
Its simple ranges for me, button wont be thinking on anything above the cards he has, and even if he opens 30% from the button, only 5% of his range can really call a 3bet, so that gives you an instant 3bet his button advantage.
The only problem you have is how fast your opponent adapts knowing you'll 3bet every time he opens
