    I don't think our focus should be on winning the pot but making the most +EV play.

    For example shoving all-in on the flop with 72o may win the pot, but it'd be a massively -EV play.
    If we have the best hand, are we not betting for value?

    I realize it's a 3bet pot, without stats on villain, it's hard to go into too much detail. But just because he has called your 3bet, that doesn't automatically mean he has a strong hand.

    For example, if villain is stealing a lot from the button, and he thinks you have adjusted to this by 3betting him, he may call with all kinds of crap, like 22+, any broadways, suited A's etc etc, just to see a flop and outplay you using position.

    I think it's +EV to bet the flop when you have the best hand getting worse hands to call.
