OK, OK, QFT.

Also, it really doesn't matter what his opening range is in this case. It only matters what range he is continuing to a 3bet against. If he is folding 99-JJ, AK, and only continuing with QQ+, then a 3bet is pretty obviously not the correct decision. That is because he is folding all worse hands, and only continuing with better.

If he is continuing with his entire opening range, then it might possibly be correct to 3bet. If he is doing something like calling 99-QQ, AK, and 4betting KK-AA, then it may be correct to 3bet/fold.
Alright, I see what you're saying. We don't want to fold out worse hands, and given this villain, it's likely we're only getting even a call with a range that largely squishes us like a bug.

And this villain does seem pretty nitty. 75 hands is a small sample, but may be a reasonable enough proxy to say he's on a tight range UTG. I see the wisdom here.

This is what a tourney player gets for posting in a cash forum. LOL.

Thanks, Stacks. That's why I post, so better players can correct my thinking and force me into a deeper analysis.

So, if this is a button or CO raise, you 3-bet all day, right? Even against this villain...? Or do you cold call even late raises with QQ and pray an A or K doesn't come?
