    Default AA gets flop c/r in 3bet spot

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    UTG+1 ($25)
    MP1 ($18.95)
    MP2 ($25)
    MP3 ($10.28)
    CO ($5.57)
    Hero (Button) ($35.51)
    SB ($25.37)
    BB ($55.21)
    UTG ($17.93)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
    UTG bets $0.75, 5 folds, Hero raises to $3, 2 folds, UTG calls $2.25

    Flop: ($6.3) , , (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $4.5, UTG raises to $9,


    villains is 20/13 in like 43 hands.

    when he takes this line, my range for him is QQ,JJ,44, KK , AKcc and vs this my AA has 42% so i like a 3bet AI here.

    my question is if my range is ok or i should discount KK cause he will 4bet this pre 90% of times? if i throw KK from his range, then i need to fold here.

    probably all-in, you have an overpair in a 3-bet pot on a drawy board vs. a 2/3 stack tard .

    If he's calling with 44 he probably has all kinds of broadway hands that include QJ but also some hands you beat.

    If you want to be able to fold AA on the flop against this guy 3-bet way smaller for sure. probably just 3-bet smaller anyway.

    i use to 3bet to 3-3.5x, but i have seen that calling range doesnt change if i 3bet 4x for 90% of 25nl players so i thought why not charge them more if possible and that how my 3bet got to 4x.

    dont think i am ever able to fold AA vs this guy in this spot ( may be a huge leak?!).

    I don't think it's a leak to not be able to fold AA in this spot. Jam for value or call down. And I won't discount AQ and maybe even KQ from his range. Guys without full stacks are likely to be fish and fish sees two pretty cards and can't fold. And given that he called a 3b OOP w/ 2/3 stack makes it seem like he's a fish even more. He should really be jamming pre with most of the hands you mentioned in his range. If he turns up with one of those hands pre and he 4b jams a decent amount of the time, you can probably discount them in the future when he 4b jams.

    If he makes a set, well...people who makes sets in 3b pots make money. I know it's hard, but try not to be results-oriented.

    yeah i stick it in. i'm not stoked on it but i imagine he will show up with all 6 combos of AQ, some KQs and potentially AcKc. though yeah he will obviously also have sets.
