Yeah i don't get the three bet all in on the flop unless you have a read that he likes to raise flops with air.

I don't understand you dsaxton. Every time I see you give advice on the boards or IRC you give the nittiest advice ever, but I've played with you a decent amount and you're a pretty good player who isn't a nit at all.

Anyway, what's that theorem from 2+2 about how when a TAG 3-bets a dry flop it's always a bluff?

The play would be fine with air since you would have outs if called (assuming he doesn't have a set) but this seems a bad spot to try this. Make it 95$ and c/f if you're called on the turn? Might accomplish same thing.
But yeah, bleh fold and do this with outs next time.

I think the theory was something like every time a TAG 3bets a flop with a pair they have nothing. I don't agree with this at all, but remember reading it.
He who drinks beer sleeps well.
He who sleeps well cannot sin.
He who does not sin goes to Heaven.

no, the theory is if someone leads into the PFR then 3 bets without pushing on a dry paired board then they are bluffing
