All the questions about 3 betting are situational. When is he threebetting? from what positions, and who?
He is three betting people IP and once as a re-steal from BB vs BU. Basically taking advantage of wide raisers and position. If you read OP you would see the plan to play back. Calling was just to prevent AQ+ from shoving on me and then to find a favorable flop.

Shoving seems like it lets him play most optimally. I would think a 4bet bluff is better.


If you have seen my posts lately, I'm not one who's unwilling to embarrass myself. I know a lot of these hands lately are crappy, but I am really trying to work on my game after playing on cruise control for over a year.
I do appreciate all comments, but please make them constructive.
I think I have identified a better way to play back, 4bet bluff or wait for a better spot. Now, what does anyone make of my original plan to play back? Decent given the math of folds I get on a low board with no A or K or Qlowlow type boards? Or is it pure spewtastic letting my HUD dictate a play after only 70 hands or so.
