This is how I understand it currently. We have a 22/19 with a 35% ats pounding on us from the CO & BTN. First of all you need to consider why he's doing that, how you can shore up your range to protect yourself, and lastly how you can use it to your advantage.

Take a step back and look at the nature of attack and defence abstractly like in this post: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...se-197718.html

What are the weaknesses here? Hero's weakness is that his folding range to an open from the CO or BTN is too large, so villain is capitalising on this by stealing more. The second weakness is the one villain has created for himself by exploiting hero's folding frequency: his opening ranges from the CO and BTN are too wide.

So in order to avoid being exploited hero has to decrease the size of his folding range. This can be done in two ways. The first way is to move hands from your folding range to your calling range, and the second is to move hands from your folding range to your 3-bet bluff range.

Now that we have spotted a weakness in our opponents game we can play our range a little differently in order to increase the overall EV of our range.

If hero 3-bets to 10bb here he needs villain to fold more than ~66% of the time. And for the sake of discussion let's assume my estimates of his ranges are fairly accurate, and he's folding 75%, we can gain an advantage here. Next step is to figure out what hands we can profitably 4-bet and get it in with, and once we have this info we can decide which hands to bluff with.

I'm not trying to come across condescending, I was working through it at walking pace for my own benefit as much as any one elses. After more than 200,000 hands of button mashing changing your thought process isn't easy.

And I agree with Savy and Spoon about the dynamic thing, it doesn't really matter that much. You've spotted a weakness and are trying to exploit it, as long as you don't go completely overboard trying to maximally exploit the guy what happened last time is largely irrelevant.

It's kind of like if you were on the BTN and both blinds were folding like 90% of the time, you've spotted a weakness. Are you gonna fold a profitable steal because "you stole last time" and "they might 3-bet me"?
