23/20/4.87 regular I've played with a lot. She has been tearing me up to be honest, reraising my steals, flat calling and raising any flop I am likely to have missed. I started just avoiding her tables, and leaving when she takes a seat on my left. I just noticed her sit down to my left on 2 of my tables and was preparing to leave.

Standard play if I'm sure she is doing this with air a ton of the time?

Blinds: $1/$2

Can you explain the Yeti theorem though I think I might know what it is by looking at the hand history?

Harry, why don't you just make a play like this when you actually have a hand if she is doing this to you that much? And stop c-betting OOP against her.

The yeti theorem: Any 3bet on a [dry] paired flop is a bluff

Anyways, I do think this is a board where you need to do soemthing against a player that is playing back at you, but Im not sure if this is it. A call and c/r turn line may be more believable, but there are still some players who will just fold to this 3bet because they raised simply thinking that you have nothing. This is not the type of player that Id be doing this against though [and I would rarely actually suggest doing this].

If you are getting pushed off hands, tighten up or move tables. Adjusting is one thing, but spewing is another.

To shut down because I am obviously beat. I obviously did it because I believe she folds here enough to make this +EV.

I wouldn't do this when I actually have a hand because I don't expect her to call.

yea this looks bluffy. I like the stack a donk line, or calling and leading the turn a lot more.

You start your post by giving your opponent a lot of credit and then post a hand where you give her none? You're beating yourself. Your line is almost never a real hand but you some how expect her to believe it is this time? If she calls and you check the turn, unless you're leveling, then almost never a hand changes to you're completely full of shit. She bets with anything on the turn because you're folding.

If you take Gabe's line of calling the flop raise and then leading the turn you're investing the same amount of money but giving yourself a lot more credibility. Although she probably doesn't have much here, you need to be aware that it's likely that you don't have what you're respresenting either. I'd just fold to her raise and wait for a better opporunity. There are better ways to deal with floaters.

if you think she's doing this with absolute air the sickest is to flat-call and CR ai on the turn.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
