    I don't really buy into the "wait for a better spot" logic in cash games. I want to learn to play correctly. If that puts me in some spots where I'm unsure then so be it. Hopefully I can learn...

    I don't have enough hands for stats to really be meaningful, but he looks TAG so far. 25/25 with 14% 3bet after 12 hands.

    Sizing looks pretty standard given he is OOP 3-way. I don't see how...

    Yeah, I think best case is probably breakeven here, and chances are he isn't shoving every possible draw. I think we can fold this.

    [25NL-Z] 99 overpair + OESD in 3bet pot

    Villain is an aggro TAG and will probably often shove overs+FDs and maybe overs+gutshots. Does he have draws often enough to call?

  6. [25NL-Z] Top two in 3bet pot facing turn c/r

    Villain is a unknown after 6 hands. Snap call, cry call or fold? Also, does anyone check back the turn?

    It feels like a snap call with 50% equity vs {nuts+AJ}

    I think you certainly do have FE on the turn if you make it mansized. Betting to get folds is fine. I don't like betting to "build the pot" and miss most of the time though, and if you really think...

    Thats only 10 combos, and thats IF he raises KJo from MP which is a bit of a stretch. It's more likely going to be 7 combos of AJ, KJs-JTs or maybe J9s + some FDs. It's probably not bad given that...

    Part of what got me thinking about it was the number of people folding 33 preflop. You're right that there are plenty of other combos that make strong hands on this turn including 77 and 78 though.
