    Default Fun with Maniacs

    $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Holdem
    9 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($4.02)
    UTG+1 ($6.51)
    MP1 ($4.32)
    MP2 ($1.45)
    MP3 ($4.60)
    CO ($4.46)
    JKDS (BTN) ($6.81)
    SB ($5.18)
    BB ($4)

    Pre-Flop: ($0.06, 9 players) JKDS is BTN
    5 folds, CO raises to $0.12, JKDS raises to $0.32, 2 folds, CO calls $0.20

    Flop: ($0.70, 2 players)
    CO checks, JKDS bets $0.48 ...

    Villain is a 32/29, high aggression on flop and turn

    Questions:
    1) Good hand to 3bet for value? Calling seems to suck, i dont flop many draws and so when i miss im just gonna have to fold. 3bet and i can bet some when i miss. I can always just fold too...but he opens sooo wide it seems criminal to just fold
    2) sizing of 3bet and flop bet. Also im b/f-ing ya?

    He super wide, and plays aggro. I can just call down instead of maybe even losing my hand if he check raises.

    3b pre is fine. Check back flop.

    3betting pre is fine, but i wouldn't say that it's "for value"

    3betting as a bluff right? Don't really like it against this guy, would rather 3bet a wider value range.

    Checking flop to bluff catch turn seems interesting, stops us getting c/r'd on flop which sucks.

    Why isnt the 3bet for value? Hes calling with much much worse and isnt folding better. Eh nvm, thats not really the point of the thread D:

    Seems like checking is probably best (and kinda ldo now considering villain), and that the 3bet was fine.

    JKDS bets like .48 or something, and villain folds

    3b'ing as a bluff Pre is sososososo bad. I was wondering how positionally aware he was to see if we should flat or 3b for value.

    its been said, checking is probably the best option vs this guy.
    ...with the intent to c/c down pretty much.

    pre shouldnt be as a bluff obviously
