    Default Preflop wars

    I suck at those, this guy was 60/50 so I figured I'd repop him with AQ+/TT+, and I got AQ twice in two orbits, so I 3bet.. but I miss the flop and then what? Anything I shoulda done different?

    Ni Han sir.

    I might hammer it a little harder pre-flop.

    When players are this retarded, don't fold AQ unimproved after jamming the pot pre-flop.

    Why are we repopping a calling station OOP?

    Hand 1 you were right to 3 bet him, but I would fold the flop even against such a loose aggressive player. For him to lead out on K high flop (A card you could be very likely to have) out of position, says that he has a strong hand & if he is making this move with air you will be making a lot of cash from him in the next few orbits anyway.

    Hand 2 is slightly different, good move three betting & leading out on the flop.
    But with all low cards, a lagg like him will float in case you just have high cards & your check on the turn indicates that you do most likely have two unimproved high cards that you will fold to a big bet & his turn all in 4 u is a clear sign of this type of bluff & I would also call . well played.

    (I will also often check to these players on the turn often when I have a hand that I think is the best , even if they have a flush draw they would rather bet at your perceived weakness than take the free card & then you can put them all in. & yeah you can also open up your re-raising range against him pre to include alot more than 10,10 + etc.)
